Born and raised in Southern California, John took classes in drawing and painting throughout his childhood and then moved on to study at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena majoring in graphic design.
After college, John went to work for a number of design and advertising firms in the Los Angeles area before opening his own creative agency in 1989. His company grew from a one man firm to a 30 person agency in the 17 years he had his business, winning numerous awards for his work as well as inclusion in the Permanent Collection of the Library of Congress. John closed his business in 2005 to start a new chapter of his life heading up and teaching the advertising program at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles.
Today, fully retired, John is enjoying painting, both studio and plein-air full time at this studio in Long Beach, CA.
