He was raised in a farming family among seafaring people. From his grade school to high school he exhibited an above average aptitude in mathematics; therefore, his uncle sent him a set of university books in physics to prepare him for higher education. His father as a young man before World War II had worked in the States and brought back to his home in Greece a stack of National Geographic magazines. Upon finishing high school John lost his father to an illness and was unable to pursue higher education.
Those university books, the National Geographic magazines, and finally, his military service exposed him to electronics, and in general, fueled his appetite and desire to do something in his life.
He seized the opportunity to become a navigating officer with the Greek merchant ships, and in the process was initially excited to see the world, learn languages and more electronics. As a navigating officer, he traveled the whole world. He saw firsthand the fury of Mother Nature, and studied extensively weather patterns. Forecasting the weather and recording weather patterns in the ship's log was a navigating officer's duty for the protection of the ship and the crew.
Disappointed by a sailor's life, he immigrated to the United States to study more electronics, and upon his graduation was hired by a major computer company as an electronics engineer. In the end of his long career with that company, he studied and received dual certification for HVAC.
When the discussion came up about Global Warming, he had something to say.vizualizați mai puține
