Born and raised in mountainous, rural central Pennsylvania, John is the content writer and editor at The Climate Reality Project. His journey to Climate Reality has been a wending one, taking him from the NYC newsrooms of MTV News and AOL to the communications and marketing office at Edinboro University, his alma mater (BA in English, ’05; MA in communication studies, ’09), in northwestern PA. A pop culture enthusiast and minor history buff, John almost certainly would rather be outside unless he is binge watching a great TV show or scribbling away on the novel he will most definitely finish very soon. He tolerates the hustle and bustle of modern life in the city with as much humor as he can muster, but hopes someday to disappear into the mountains and forests of his youth, only to be heard from when complaining about the quality of his Internet connection.
