John H. Loase was born in Garrison, New York. A small, isolated community, John woke each morn to a cacophony of birds settled over the marshland adjacent to his home. Too often, the innocent child would find one such bird stuck, seemingly asleep, to the windows in the living room.

He moved to Scarsdale, New York and then onto Pleasantville, New York in the subsequent ten years. He had a second home, however, one shared amongst each of these three sites. His mother and father, both college professors, would spend their summers in the near untouched wilderness of the Adirondacks. From the days of his infancy, John climbed mountains (in his father’s rucksack), fished pike, and was assaulted by swarms of black flies.

Life has brought John H. Loase to Tamil Nadu, India where he served as a missionary amongst a number of secluded mountainous communities in the Kodaikanal hills. His success in travel led him to Seoul, South Korea at the sponsorship of one Professor Lee from Concordia College of Bronxville where John studied.
