John "Tarp" Tarpley is quite simply a force of energy - blessed with an excellent thyroid gland he says! Despite being long past "retirement" age he continues to work as a huge force for good in African surgery driven by a passion for teaching and his lifelong personal faith.
He is a legend in Vanderbilt where he was Program Director for many years, operative teacher and missions based surgeon. He says he is planning to travel more to see his family in Canada and Switzerland and beyond and is only working part-time at 40 hours a week!
A fanatical college sports fan and season ticket holder there seems to be no stopping him anytime soon!
Hear how he turned down a Hopkins Chairman to choose a different life path for the next half-century. Prepared to be exhausted by his drive, enthusiasm and energy.
