Born in Roanoke, Virginia, John is a graduate of Harvard College. He graduated in 1979. Fishwick furthered his education at Washington and Lee University, graduating from the law school in 1983. Fishwick worked in private practice for nearly thirty years before being nominated by President Barack Obama to the position of U.S. Attorney. While the highest-ranking law enforcement officer in the District, Fishwick dedicated his time to the prosecution of violent criminals and potential solutions to a growing heroin epidemic. He resigned on January 6, 2017. After leaving the position, he began working in private practice again at his newly created firm, Fishwick & Associates in downtown Roanoke.
