Physical Description:
John was a tall man, muscular and broad shouldered. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes with a close cropped beard.
Blood type: AB-
Record:
2390- Graduated from starfleet nursing school at the top of his class

John was a hard working man, who would do anything for the patients under his care. He strove for excellence in his work and expected the same of others. He could be hot headed at times and a bit blunt but on the whole he was kind, caring and compassionate.

Main service record events:
During 2399 an incident occured in ICU involving another colleague. John started a relationship with a doctor. Unfortunately, John was too focused on his work and the relationship broke down. The Doctor made a formal complaint and as the Doctor was more senior it was heavily suggested that John leave and a new posting was found. This was more of a general nursing position but was somewhat of a promotion so he didn’t mind. He was fortunate enough to look after a well known admiral who was impressed with John’s leadership skills and the nursing care. The Admiral therefore recommended John be transferred to the Ogawa as Head Nurse.

Due to the incident above John has grown to resent Doctors somewhat as his career has suffered a setback- despite how how brief this may have been.
