Originally from Ireland, John finished his education obtaining a B.A in Philosophy from Trinity College, The University of Toronto. For over 25 years he has been a commercial photographer in Toronto, delving into video production 5 years ago.

His interest in personal life stories helped him with his volunteer work in hospice and continues to motivate him to produce better portraits and video of his subjects.

When he is not producing imagery he can be found crewing on race sail boats or cooking for friends and family.
