John was a graduate and all-star basketball player from the Sacred Heart high school in Vineland. He went on to attend F&M college where he obtained a bachelor's degree. In 1988 John bought Wicker Imports; a company specializing in wicker and rattan furniture, and with the addition of Wicker Cushions in 2003, custom made replacement cushions.
