While immersed in the creative visual communication challenges of commercial photography, John also gains a deep satisfaction from teaching and mentoring the next generation of photographic artists and communicators at AUArts. John is a graduate of the University of Calgary (BSc), in addition to the Commercial Photography Program at Langara College. He has served multiple terms on the local and national board of The Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators. Passionate about the outdoors, when not taking photos, he will likely be riding a bike (or thinking about it) and hanging out with his awesome family.
