in and of itself quite an accomplishment for John, being born sixteen-weeks premature. "I was the first partial birth delivery," John says.
After losing his sight while obtaining a Broadcast Communications degree, at the University of Houston, he pursued a successful radio career. His unconventional

John Jackshaw's first writing opportunities were realized in High School and college newspapers. Regardless of the assignment, his opinion and wit usually landed the piece on the editorial page.
