John attended Gallatin High School and was in the graduating class of 1970. Later he earned his associate degree from Vol State. John was married to Sheila on December 31, 1976. 

He worked at GE/Bosch for 26 years until the company closed their doors; then John worked at Sabre Defense Industries, in Nashville, Tennessee.
