John has always been a very reserved person. After high school, he decided that he wanted to be a chef. He went to a very famous culinary art school to learn everything he could about cooking. He loved it. After graduating from the culinary art school, John began searching for jobs as a top chef at multiple restaurants. He was in love with cooking but he was more in love with food.
For a couple of years John worked at a restaurant and even met his first wife (Stacey). Stacey was working as a server/hostess at the restaurant when John was working there. They fell in love and soon they were married and expecting their first child (Jane). A few months before the arrival of their baby girl, the restaurant caught on fire and John was traumatised. It is possible that this affected Stacey in such a way that made her want to leave her family too.
John became very passionate about firefighting because they saved his life. It was then that he decided to pursue a career as a firefighter. He enrolled in the academy and got certified as a first responder. Shortly after the birth of his daughter, his wife Stacey, left him and his small family.
John was devasted and gave himself over completely as a father. This attracted the attention of his babysitter; Terry and they swiftly fell in love. They eventually went on to grow their family and became a very close-knit family. Terry was always extremely supportive of John and his passions. She eventually decided to stay home and focus her time on their family.
