John was a United States Marine Corps veteran and earned his MBA from Harvard University. He worked for Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby (now Willis Towers Watson) and briefly lived in Belgium as a consultant. Realizing that the corporate life was not his chosen path, John followed his ambition to become an author. As a proponent of self-sufficiency, he naturally gravitated to the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s, resulting in some of his most popular publications. A talented wordsmith, John had most recently been a long-time contributing author and editor for Mother Earth News magazine when he retired in 2001.
