John Wolfgang has a background in electrical, computer, and software engineering, with a masters degree from Carnegie Mellon University. John and his wife (who generously wrote this bio for him) began homeschooling their 6 children 15 years ago and have graduated their two oldest. John enjoys spending time with family, woodworking, sharing Bible-based personal finance teaching with anyone who will listen, and avoiding most white-colored foods. His favorite color is orange, his favorite drink is unflavored sparkling water, and he grew up in Hershey, PA (and yes, it really used to smell like chocolate there before they moved the chocolate factory).
