get values of current user through SPServices

Hello ALL.

I’m on SP2013.

I found a jquery code that gets values of current user through SPServices.

This works great for single line text fields but doesn’t work for people picker fields.

I’m a bit stuck. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Larry
