He embraces the saying, "Never stop learning." He grew up in Waterloo, Ontario, and his studies and work as a civil litigation lawyer have taken him to wonderful Canadian cities: Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, Oakville and Campbellville. John now lives in Kitchener, Ontario. You can often find him enjoying its trail system, whether along old rail lines, through a forest or along the Grand River. He's married to Sheila and has three adult children: Jeremy, Elise and Alex. John's enjoying life even more after the experiences he writes about in his book.
