Before joining Sheridan College as a faculty member in 2005, John worked for over twenty years as a freelance director, production manager, and writer within the Canadian film and television industry. His credits include production management for children’s series television such as Degrassi and OWLTV; multiple series as a writer for TVOntario; and directing of independent shorts, children’s television and a feature film.

At Sheridan, John has taught directing, visual effects and previsualization, a new course jointly taken by directing, cinematography, and production design students. For the last two years he’s been the lead on development of the Screen Industries Research and Training Centre being established by Sheridan College in conjunction with industry partners at Pinewood Toronto Studios. This studio and post-production facility is intended to create a collaborative workspace for integration of new production and post-production technologies within the film, television, gaming, and interactive industries.
