John was born in Digby, NS. During WWII the family moved to Halifax where he studied Civil Engineering at the Nova Scotia Technical College (Dalhousie).

He eventually went on to work independently and completed a number of projects for SNC Lavalin. Though he resided in Montreal a long time, John's heart belonged to The Maritimes.
