One of the most positive and exciting personalities to emerge in the new century, Perk is a shining example of enlightened living. Drawing upon his talents to spread his passion to others, Perk writes & performs original music, brings characters to life in film and television, and teaches a personal development system called 'FEVER Training'.

Born and raised in North Carolina, John "Perk" Perkinson says he learned early on how precious life is. "My father worked for a funeral home, and I would spend time going to cemeteries. I remember asking my Dad why people were crying, and he said someone had died. Naturally, I asked what "dying" was, and he told me that sometimes people go to sleep and never wake up. When I asked him if was going to "die", he nodded yes...and that's the day I knew I would live my life to the fullest!"

After graduating from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communication, Perk headed west to study guitar at the prestigious Musician's Institute in Hollywood, California. He followed guitar school with live performances at the top L.A. clubs, recorded two albums, won awards, toured the United States, and even made two trips to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to perform for the troops stationed on the base. Also performing as an actor, Perk has worked in Film and TV, as well as appearing in commercials and print ads. Perk says, " the entertainment industry can be extremely challenging, and pushes you to be better than you ever thought possible...I love it!"

In 2007, Perk's life changed direction. In a sudden flash of inspiration, he created a personal development system called "FEVER Training." Perk explains, "I began noticing that many people seemed to have difficulty staying happy. Perk took the word "FEVER" and used it as an acronym for a 5-step process to get happy, and stay there. Focus, Energize, Visualize, Engage, and Rejoice are the 5 steps of FEVER Training. Perk explains, "I used FEVER Training on myself, and I realized the dream I had been chasing for 15 years (being a "rock star") was not what I really wanted. I discovered a new part of myself that wanted to help others...all around the world!" Since that day, Perk has been developing and expanding FEVER Training, and is currently working on his first Workbook & Seminar, as well as online counseling, and much more. His goal with FEVER Training is to help others get happy, and stay there!
