John Matthew

Born October 16, 1968, to semi space faring parents, in a small but friendly beach town, in what was known then as Southern California. Located in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth, in the Milky Way system. Growing up on the beach watching airplanes taking off from nearby LAX airport, being lucky enough to be able to spend a decent amount of time actually in and around those same airplanes, as well as other secured places within LAX, gave me the urge to become a pilot someday. Which I eventually did. Flash forward a huge chunk of time to the start of my military career which builds upon my existing piloting skills, with a twist. This time we were not flying airplanes designed to fly in Earth's atmosphere. These are space planes or spaceships as they like to refer to them. Another large jump forward in time places us in the here and now. Whereever or whatever that might be.
