Raised in the Midwest, John attended Illinois State University as a Music and Theater major, moving to Chicago his senior year for a Theatre internship. His career as an actor was fast tracked after landing a couple of national commercials, precipitating a request to audition for Samuel Goldwyn Jr. and a move to Los Angeles. A 30-year career in Hollywood included landing a series starring role in the award winning anthology, Friday The 13th: The Series. John also began shooting and editing videos for theater companies in Los Angeles, creating “behind the scenes” pieces for their social media sites and award ceremonies. A move to Boise in 2014 sparked the creation of FEAT1STFILMS and a new way for John to channel his creative energies.
