## **Backstory**

Johann-Konrad West, commonly known as Konrad or JK, was born on June 2nd, 1957, in a small town in Germany. His father, a US soldier stationed in Germany, fell in love with Konrad's mother, a German maid working on the army base. Their love blossomed, and they got married, but unfortunately, his father was transferred to another base shortly after Konrad's birth. Konrad's mother decided to stay in Germany and raise him alone.

Growing up, Konrad had a difficult time fitting in. He was neither fully German nor fully American, which made him feel like an outsider in both cultures. However, he found solace in music and became enamored with the punk scene in his teenage years. Konrad rebelled against the strict societal norms of his small town and started dressing in leather jackets, ripped jeans, and sporting a mohawk.

Despite his unconventional appearance, Konrad was a volunteer member of the Red Cross in Germany, a talented student, and received a scholarship to attend college in the United States. He moved to Wisconsin and continued his punk lifestyle while studying for his degree. He often played in local punk bands and attended concerts frequently, finding a sense of community within the punk scene.

At the University Of Wisconsin-Madison, he pursued his passion for healthcare. Konrad realized the importance of understanding healthcare's chemical and pharmaceutical aspects. Therefore, he enrolled in a paramedic degree program, a 6-year program to a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a pharmaceutical chemistry degree.

During his undergraduate years, Konrad was highly committed to his studies. However, he also needed to earn a living to support himself. He started working as an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) paramedic during the night shifts. His experiences on the job reinforced his desire to make a difference in people's lives and inspired him to continue pursuing his healthcare career.

As he moved through his studies, Konrad continued working as a paramedic. He found the combination of his EMS and pharmaceutical education highly beneficial. He believed that it would equip him with a unique skill set that he could use to impact people's lives positively.

After graduation, Konrad moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he secured a job as a pharmacist and paramedic. He worked hard in his career, providing healthcare services to the community while building a reputation as a caring and compassionate healthcare professional.

However, Konrad's life took an unexpected turn when the aftermath of his political activities caught up to him. Konrad had been involved in various political campaigns during his college years, advocating for social justice and human rights. However, his activism had put him in the crosshairs of influential individuals who wanted to silence him.

In the interest of his safety, Konrad made the difficult decision to leave Green Bay and start a new life in Los Santos. He packed his bags, said goodbye to his friends and colleagues, and headed west, eager to create a new chapter in his life and continue pursuing his passion for healthcare.
