Suspended from college for forging a professor's signature while trying to change majors, and kicked out of his family home, a young John found himself living in a tent in a North Carolina public park. He soon talked his way into a part-time job at the local radio station and parlayed it into a meteoric career in journalism: from serving as an award-winning CBS News correspondent in Nashville and New York City, to hosting network coverage of international sporting events (1992 and 1996 Olympic Games, Tour de France, Wimbledon), and eventually becoming co-host of Entertainment Tonight—a gig that ended up lasting a decade.An aspiring musician as well, John self-produced an album that went on to sell only one thousand copies. Determined, he and his wife Connie Sellecca took a huge financial risk and created a television special, John Tesh: Live at Red Rocks, which went on to become one of the most successful public television specials ever. Given the incredible success of the special, Tesh walked away from his seven-figure TV job and launched into a full-time music career that earned him six Emmy Awards, 4 Gold albums, 8 million records sold, sold out concert tours and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.As a composer, John also has the unique distinction of creating what many have hailed as “the greatest sports theme in television history” for NBC Sports basketball: “Roundball Rock.” The song was brought back as part of NBC Television's coverage of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games.Not content to stop there, Tesh and his wife created a self-syndicated radio show, The John Tesh Radio Show-Intelligence For Your Life in 1999 as a lifestyle program that offers advice and expert opinions on topics such as health, finance, relationships, careers, and family. Originally heard only on weekends, the show has grown to become an internationally syndicated radio powerhouse that is heard daily on over 300 radio stations across the USA, the UK, and around the world on American Forces Radio Network. The five-hour-long program is broadcast in all time slots and features a unique combination of expert advice and personal development content on the subjects that are important to listeners and their families– all surrounded by listeners' favorite music on multiple radio formats including Adult Contemporary, Hot AC, Classic Hits, Urban, and Oldies. Today, The John Tesh Radio Show & Intelligence For Your Life brand amasses over 34 million gross impressions per week, while John's Facebook page delivers 15-20 million engagements per week.In 2020, Tesh published his memoir, Relentless: Unleashing a Life of Purpose, Grit, and Faith, which revealed how he overcame a terminal cancer diagnosis by relying on the steadfast determination and grit that have been the hallmarks of his life and career.In 2021, Tesh launched The Warrior Mindset, a live, 24/7 app offering instant streaming access to self-help content and a place where subscribers can connect directly with Tesh for life coaching. The service will be available on Apple TV, Android, Roku and Fire TV.

As an education program analyst in the Global Intellectual Property Academy from 2008–2011, he managed international programs focused on providing IP training related to enforcement of patents, trademarks, and copyrights and the U.S. patent and trademark system. Prior to working for the federal government, he served as the Director of Events for the National Association of Homebuilders in Washington, D.C. and as the Ideas Exchange Manager for Accenture in Reston, Virginia.NIHF (national inventors hall of Fame) Inductee James Wynne Invented the Excimer Laser Treatment Gwen BlackwellSupervisory Patent Examiner (SPE) in the Chemical and Material Engineering Technology Center 1700.Ms. Blackwell also delivers lectures to new examiners at the Patent Training Academy on various topics concerning effective patent examination processes.She has also completed a 9 month detail as a Resource SPE at the Elijah J. McCoy Midwest Regional Office located in Detroit, Michigan where she worked to develop the K-12 outreach program will local school districts.Ms. Blackwell began her career at the USPTO in December 2000 as an examiner in TC 1700, specifically addressing applications in areas such as semiconductors, nonstructural laminates, glass substrates with coatings, and artificial flora and fauna.In January 2012 she was promoted to a Supervisory Patent Examiner and served as a Trainer for new examiners in the Patent Training Academy.

NIHF Inductee James WynneJames Wynne is co-inventor of a process using a short pulse ultraviolet laser to etch tissue in minute increments and in a highly controlled fashion. The technique, discovered with his colleagues at IBM, allows removal of material to a precisely determined depth without thermal damage to surrounding tissue.Until the early 1980s, lasers were used in eye surgery to create scar tissue that had therapeutic value, as when welding a torn or detached retina. The excimer laser breakthrough is used for delicate surgical procedures, most notably refractive eye surgeries such as PRK, and LASIK, which permanently change the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye.Born in Brooklyn, New York, Wynne, a physicist, received his A.B. in 1964 and his Ph.D. in 1969 from Harvard. He then joined IBM, working at the Zurich Research Laboratory before moving to the Watson Research Center in New York, where he was manager of the laser physics and chemistry group when excimer laser surgery was discovered. The recipient of many honors, including the National Medal of Technology and Innovation and NAE's Russ Prize, Wynne is presently exploring new ways to apply laser technology to dermatology. He has also been involved with technical education outreach since 1990.As an inventor, when we come up with an idea, it can be challenging and lonely navigating through the steps of bringing your ideas to reality.
