Coach John grew up on the east coast of South Florida and has been a swimmer since age 3. After graduating from the University of Florida in 1970 he spent 6 years in the US Air Force as a Pilot and then 36 years in commercial aviation. In 2013 Coach Tom Bradbury introduced his 17 month old grandson to the pool and it was an amazing experience. Coach Bradbury had spent over 60 years in teaching over 94,000 children-he is the undisputed preeminent swim teacher of children in the entire world. Coach John spent 3 seasons with Coach Bradbury learning the system and techniques that Coach Tom had fine tuned over the years from swim lessons.

While in college he became a senior life saver and certified scuba diver. He worked in the financial services industry until he retired in 2016. He then moved to the Tampa area to be close to his grandsons. He has been instrumental in teaching his grandsons how to swim.
