John Wesley Sponsler, Jr. was born on April 25, 1963 in San Pedro, California, and grew up in Carson, California. Some of the time he finds himself in Tucson, Arizona, where his three beautiful daughters reside, spending quality time with them and writing also while he is there. He became disabled in April of 1997, which ended his sixteen-year career as a licensed aircraft sheet metal mechanic. In becoming disabled, John took on the responsibilities of being the primary caretaker of his three daughters, or as he liked to refer to it, as a adomestic engineera by raising them up until January of 2000 when his now ex-wife and three daughters left their home. John believes that his daughters are his inspiration to his writing and credits his writing to his divorce. After all, it wasnat until after his divorce that John really began what has now become his newfound career as a writer. Therefore he has dedicated his first book, A BaddBoyas Image: aWords Truly Writtena to his three beautiful daughters: Jessica, Ashley, and Marissa.
