John lives in Washington, DC, but likes to remind people of his New Jersey roots, which he often credits for his heavy use of sarcasm. OCD played a big part in John’s life, but it wasn’t until he was 31 that he received a diagnosis. John is a current law student and hopes to use his skills in the future to continue advocacy for OCD and mental health on a policy level. For now, he continues to navigate recovery and hopes to support others who are struggling.
