He is also an avid music lover and enjoys camping with family and friends. In his free time, John indulges his passion for reading and research, always seeking to deepen his knowledge and understanding of the world around him.
Throughout his career, John has achieved numerous notable accomplishments. In the early 2000s, he was at the forefront of 3D web development, working with government organizations and non-profits to build the Digital Universe. John has also made significant contributions to the film industry, with over twenty feature films under his belt in various capacities. In 2006, John established his own media lab, and in 2016, he built a state-of-the-art post-production facility in Ohio.

Perhaps most notably, John and his team have developed a platform used in vision therapy trials for traumatic brain injury and other disabilities.
