J.R. has been on a bit of a hiatus. He had some health-related issues, and then, recently, spent thirteen months working as a supervisor at a 24/7 psychiatric treatment facility.

J.R. Wirth liked Jarvis's review of The Institute: "I was hooked. Melissa’s dreams felt so real, and the whole Serenity Institute setting gave me chills. I loved how brave she was trying to save Noah, and when Gabriel showed up, things got intense fast. Great mix of suspense and emotion!"
