A storyteller with a unique story of his own....

​

Hailing from an upstate NY town smaller than most bedrooms, after attending college in Ohio, John moved deeper into the midwest to Omaha, NE then Chicago, and New York City following a career path in the music business. After an ill-fated move to Los Angeles for a short year, John ran scared

back to NYC to work  with the Dave Matthews' founded indie

label, ATO Records.  It was at ATO he had the opportunity to advocate for a unique roster of artists that included My Morning Jacket, Gomez, Mike Doughty, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Patty Griffin, David Gray, Ben Kweller and Dawes.   

​

John’s a natural character, a quirky everyman, with a disarming edge.  He's tapped into youth culture but with the mindset and emotional investment of, you know, an adult.  

Think a young Ray Romano, John C Reilly or Jason Segall.  John's the advocate, the guy who gets the tickets,  everyone

asks him for advice because he’s got just enough knowledge

about a lot of things to be an “authority” and "cool...." At least

in his own mind.

​

John has been working as both a voice and on-camera actor

for 5 years in Los Angeles.  He’s been seen or heard in national commercials for Coke, Little Ceasar’s, Ooma, King’s Hawaiian Bread, Cable One, Pei Wei, and Principal Financial and several others.  His lovable,  bad joke telling principal character, Ben the Dog featured in the children's animated series, The Adventures

of Annie and Ben, which currently boasts over 100MIL views on

the Hoopla Kidz Youtube platform.  

 

John's a stock market and financial news junkie, as well as a homemade pasta and meatballs maker.  He also likes to

believe he led the revival for the word, “solid” and calls most people by their last names. Outside of the booth and sometimes in, John and his wife stay busy chasing toddler son George 

around their home in Studio City, CA. But New York will always have a place in his heart and soul.
