Bio
Devin Foether
John was very dedicated to his studies while I attended EMU with him and all the way up until he got his diploma. He was more than willing to lend a hand in subject matters that he had studied in when I needed help in a couple of business classes that I had enrolled in. John was also very involved in after class study and project sessions.
