John got his inspiration for live theatre and film work from being employed by Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, Florida. The two biggest inspirations for acting have been Donna Lee Betz and Scene Study/Monologue instructor, Rus Blackwell. Rus has been John's primary mentor when a script or play has been handed to him. The best advice John ever received has been from Rus, "Do the work" and "always have a monologue ready".
