An Autobiography by John Fine

Currently, besides playing an active role as the Committee Chairman within the Trade and Commerce (TCC) of Asgardia Parliament, I am a US Contractor, retired Military, and founder/CEO of The Risen Son Christian Center.  In these roles, I lead in communication and information, coordination, management, and team guidance.  My vision for Asgardia is a holistic approach to sustainable development that will enhance community, well-being, and unity.  My experience and training as a soldier, supervisory positions in the automotive industry, as well as my work in the transportation and education fields, enhanced my management , computer, media, record keeping, planning, coordinating, and team building skills.  This background works well within the TCC, which is where most legislative initiatives are fleshed out and prepared for Parliament.  I recently graduated from Troy University where I earned bachelors degree in Political Sciences and International Relations.  I also achieved a minor in Military Operations, graduated with Honors Summa Cum Laude, and inducted into Honor Societies Phi Kappa Phi, Alpha Sigma Lamda, Pi Sigma Alpha.   

Culture

I am a cultural enthusiast.  I love cultural heritage and believe preserving one's cultural heritage is very important, but also believe sharing these wonderful cultural practices will enhance the quality of life within Asgardia.  In the Army, I participated in the Army good neighbor program where soldiers were intergraded into diverse cultural practices within the nation they were stationed.  My family and I, annually, have visited and interacted with diverse cultural events within the United States, Kuwait, Dubai, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea.  Combining my love for culture, my vision for Asgardia, and my leadership skills, I am certain I will continue to add value to Asgardia Parliament.  

My History

I was born in the great state of Texas, in 1963.  My father was in the US Air Force so we, as a family move around a lot.  Spent most of my childhood in the state of Missouri, and now currently living in the state of Georgia.  I have 4 brothers and one sister, my sister and I were born the same year, her in January, me in December, that did not give our mom much time to rest.  Unfortantly my sister has passed on and left us, she was involved in an accident that took her life, a very sad day for all of us and a very sad memory.  My brothers are all very successful in thier careers, and my father at around 90 years old now is still alive and well, and still does just about anything he wants.  My background or roots is a strange combination of Russian, French, American Indian, and German, there may be more but thats all I have been able to confirm.  My Russian roots is Feinberg, my French is LaFontaine, my German is Buche, and my American Indian is the Crow tripe, but some believe it to be the Cherokee tribe.  Most of my careers have been in the automotive industry.  I have been a technician for over 35 years, my primary field was automotive mechanics and servicing.  I also have extensive background in heavy equipment.  Furthermore, I have training and experience in the transportation industry, education field, firefighter, and was a US soldier (retired) for 15 years.  I have been a business owner as well; my previous businesses were a handyman service, a garage shop, and am the founder and CEO of an organization called The Risen Son Christian Center.  I currently manage my own websites to include this one which includes the media department, videos, social interaction, email responses, and any other media deemed necessary for the sites.  I am a father of 6 children and have been married to my lovely wife since 2005.  I am very active in my church community and volunteer resources and income on a regular basis.  Most of all I have always been fascinated with the science fiction and facts of space, and the advances for humanity that have come from those facts and fictions.  Asgardia gives me hope not only in seeing humanity come together for the common good of all mankind, but also because the Head of Nation and I are the same age, and he said he would stand on the deck of Asgardia's space Ark within his lifetime, so am hopeful that includes me.  I have written and published a book called Perceptions of the Mind, if you would like a copy follow the link in the name, it was a crazy attempt to explain all the different perceptions humans have and why they have them.  I generally do not associate with mean spirited, nasty minded, or fake people.  I always try to see things from the viewpoint of those I am talking to and respect their views, but expect them to do the same.   Well that is it, I hope this has helped you understand me and how I perceive the world.  Thank You
