In addition to his work for ITPro, he regularly works with outlets such as CBC, Healthline, VeryWell, Defector, and a host of others. John began his journalism career at the University of Regina at their student newspaper, The Carillon. He started as a sports writer, then sports editor, before serving as EIC until 2020.
John holds a BA and an MFA from the University of Regina. His graduate work focused on disability, identity, and solo performance in theatre. Prior to shifting to being a full-time freelancer, John worked for Listen to Dis' Community Arts Organization, Saskatchewan's only disability-led disability arts organization.
His focus as a generalist is to cover things with societal and cultural impact, particularly when it comes to inclusion in its various forms. As a result, he's written for FiveThirtyEight about Apple Watches, covered the Paris Paralympics for CBC, and written for Defector about a scandal in American wheelchair basketball.
