Since the age of sixteen, John has been in the oil patch. Starting from the bottom as a roughneck and working his way up to an Operators position with Sage Oil.

John tried his hand at consulting with NorthAm Energy, the Rig Co-Coordinator for Pan Canadian and then Manager of Safety and Quality Control with Round Up Well Servicing and Fleet Coil.

In his spare time, John enjoyed watching sports, fishing, playing cards and board games. He loved listening to music of all eras, reminiscing with family and friends, and journaling. John's special love, other then family and friends, were his dogs, Josh and Jade. They were a constant source of companionship, love and pleasure. They were sometimes treated better then people.

He didn't take life for granted; always taking care of others needs before his own, even through his battle with cancer.
