John loves his community nearly as much as his family and feels they both provide him perspective and compassion. Currently living in Odessa with his beautiful wife, of nearly 17 years, Rebecca, and their two children; John Thomas IV and Cally, John says he is blessed to have their love and support. In the community, John finds passion in being involved as a Master Mason for 25 years (Lodge #25) and a Shriner since 2010. The existence of the Shrine to help children with specialized medical care around North America. Internationally, John is involved with Advocates of Love (An orphanage located in the Dominican Republic) since 2012.
