​Break the social taboo
by JAC

A man is meant to show only a few things
Strength, anger, and power
This makes a man weaker

The human condition requires more
To feel is to live
To hurt is to grow
Suppression is the expectation
But the answer is expression
​

JAC is the pen name of John Caviness. John grew up in Noblesville, graduating from Noblesville High School, and received a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages (German Studies) and Master of Science from the Center for Communication and Information Sciences (CICS) at Ball State University. He loves to fix problems, ease frustration, and optimize quality of life while working with technology. John helps the company he works for, and their clients, thrive in the modern technological landscape. He has been a male ally to women and other disenfranchised groups throughout his life and hopes he can help all people work together better in the technology space. John is also creative in wood working and music, and is occasionally known to enjoy some odd songs and might show with a Mead in hand.
