James A. Mohs

The eldest of five children raised in a small, central-Minnesota community, James Mohs attended St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN, where he played baseball for four years. Earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 1968, he was then accepted into the University of Minnesota’s Medical School where he received his M.D. in 1972.

After a one year internship he began his medical practice in Melrose, Minnesota, and was named the Outstanding Family Physician in Minnesota in 1997 by the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians.

He met and married his wife, Nancy, in 1974 and has three children and five grandchildren.

Retiring from his medical practice in 2006 he decided to write a novel, which he accomplished with the love, support, and encouragement of his family.

He enjoys reading, writing, and playing golf in addition to spending as much time as possible with his wife, children and grandchildren.
