Born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, John grew up visiting his NYC-based aunt and watching her do what she loves the most: act.

This meant being snuck backstage after performances, meeting actors, and developing a growing curiosity in all-things-performance.

John went on to be an accomplished musician (drums, guitar, bass), contributing as both a studio (listen to his most recent album on Spotify here) and touring musician. He even was part of a West African drum crew for a while.

A psychotherapist by trade, John sees acting much like therapy in that he sees it as lived empathy.

[While sympathy is limited to simply understanding conceptually what another person is feeling, empathy is feeling it, being it, taking it on as your own.]

John combines his knack for empathy and his love of performance to bring his acting to life.

John is a SAG-Eligible actor working in film, TV, and commercial.

John is represented by Johnson Talent Agency in both SF and LA.

John lives in San Francisco with his wife and 2-year-old daughter. When he’s not acting, he can be found surfing, training martial arts, or working on his Sprinter van.
