John Patterson started working as a kid. He’s worked in a variety of service, retail, as well as light and heavy blue-collar gigs for almost a decade. After law school and clerking at the California Supreme Court, he practiced law for almost twenty years before going into education for almost twenty years. He retired from public secondary education teaching and administration positions. He’s served on five boards, including our CWC-Sac Board for two years. He hosts our Open Readings, which he started four years ago. He’s written for work, but now he is currently writing a memoir based on his childhood. When not writing, seeing family, or travelling, he tells true stories. He is screening for beta readers. Contact him at: 2johnpatterson@gmail.com
