He is a proud graduate of OTU and member of the Duntroon Society. As an officer, he served in the Signals Corps and was placed in charge when, in December 1967, the then prime minister Harold Holt disappeared in the sea near the School of Signals where John was posted.
He studied medicine unsuccessfully but, at the age of forty, gained an IT degree at USQ and later a postgraduate qualification in adult education. John has been a teacher, tutor, lecturer, corporate trainer, computer programmer, and proofreader and has written a series of self-help books.
As a student, his need for funds cast him as a nude model for art students, taxi driver, waiter, car park attendant, and first-aid attendant on a railroad construction site. He has been a door-to-door salesman and a real estate agent and has delivered milk with a horse and cart.
John’s passion is Aussie rules, which he played for the University of Queensland twice, serving as club president. He has followed the Geelong Cats for over sixty years.
In 1974, John started Queensland’s first pet cemetery and has an interest in Faithful Friends Pet Crematorium.
John has travelled to several countries, including the United States. Along the way, he has found time to start a chemical company, to manage a restaurant at a Cairns resort, and is currently studying for a postgraduate law degree.view less
