B. Background Summary:
Jonathan Asher lived in Copernicus City, where he participated in several sports and took an early interest to medicine after his close friend Nathan Rollins was injured during a game of racquetball that fractured his right leg. He attended Starfleet Academy in 2406, where he met his future wife, Sarah Emery, another young cadet.
After graduating Starfleet Academy, Asher pursued his dream and entered Starfleet Medical. While here, Asher was nearly killed three seperate times due to the ignorance of a defiant lieutenant named Regya Paxum, a Devronian.
After he graduated from Starfleet Medical, Asher was promoted to Lieutenant and served on the U.S.S. Hope, a science vessel. There, he was reunited with and married Sarah Emery in 2415. A year later, Asher was offered the position of Chief Medical Officer on the U.S.S. Frontier, a Sovereign -class ship commanded by Captain Scott Harriman. He and Lt. Asher transfered to the ship, as Lieutenant Sarah Asher was to be the ship's tactical officer. Their first child, Robert Asher was born later that year. He served aboard the U.S.S. Frontier as Chief Medical Officer, and during his service had had over 3500 patients, 3 of whom have died, and has discovered the first traces of at least 5 diseases, 8 new forms of microscopic life form, and 10 new plant species.
He currently serves as CMO on the U.S.S. Valhalla.
