He graduated from Marion High School, class of 2005. Since high school, John has been a man of many talents. He worked as a bartender for many bars, most recently The Ruin; he was the manager of Cap n' Cork; at one point he was the youngest paintball referee in the country and was employed at Paintball Splat Attack, Marion, IN; and he worked at EZ Pawn for many years. Little John was a true entertainer. He was a standup comedian and was the frontman of several bands. He used the stage name Brent Travis when he did his country-comedy shows. Little John was similar to his grandfather George, in that he was great at wheeling and dealing on EBay.

A true dog-lover, he loved to rescue pitbulls. John was very active in politics, campaigning for Bernie Sanders in the last two elections.
