John Reshetar lives and works in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he balances his passion for writing with a long-standing career in building and construction. For more than forty years, he has written across genres—guidebooks, poetry, short stories, essays, and personal reflections—beginning with titles such as The Complete Pocket Guide to Atlantic City Casinos and Got A Minute – A Collection of Minute Poems. His work reveals a natural ability to move from practical nonfiction to poetic insight, always rooted in his desire to give voice to observations about everyday life. With a B.S. in Environmental Science from Rutgers University and a Master’s Degree in Pollution Control from Penn State, John built a successful parallel career as the owner of Homestead Builders, overseeing the construction of more than 300 homes and commercial buildings. This professional discipline and “builder’s eye” subtly enrich his writing. Through the years, he has continued to craft stories, essays, and poems for family and friends, drawing inspiration from genuine emotion, life’s challenges, and current events. Grounded by his 52-year marriage and his role as a father of three, John’s work remains deeply personal—offering readers a blend of curiosity, experience, and heartfelt reflection.
