John grew up in California and Oklahoma. After developing a passion for baseball, he played at Oklahoma City University where he earned his BS in Chemistry. John then went on to pitch in the Texas Rangers Minor League system for 2 years. When his baseball career was finished he began working in his first laboratory position in 1991 as an Andrologist. For the past 30 years, working within the same infertility program, at Oklahoma University, John has gained experience in andrology, embryology, office management, and web design. He is always striving to find ways to make a better embryo.
John has 3 children (two of which were conceived by assisted reproduction) and two grandchildren. John and his wife have been married for 19 years and make their home in the country where he enjoys his newly developed skill of tractor work.
As the dad of two teenage daughters, John spends his free time watching TikTok dances, serving as an unpaid uber, and being a volleyball team dad. John loves all things Disney, enjoys watching sports, and can be found tearing up during sappy commercials.
John is excited to be a part of the Thrive IVF team, and joined Thrive IVF because he wanted to be a part of truly forward thinking fertility company, aiming to actually make care more affordable and accessible.
