Media Career
Formerly presenting the weather on QTQ-9's National Nine News in Brisbane for nearly 25 years, he quit in September 2006, just short of his 25th anniversary with the Nine Network. In the late eighties, John did voice-over work for Brisbane Ten (TVQ-0/10) but returned to Nine. He was subsequently replaced by weekend weather presenter Joseph May.
John was later signed by Seven News Brisbane as a fill-in weather presenter for Talitha Cummins, a position which was later made permanent following high ratings for the then-second rate Seven bulletin (Seven News came 2nd in Brisbane in 2006).
John is married to former Brisbane television identity, Chris Collins, who presented news on Brisbane's Ten News with Rob Readings from 1987 to 1989. He also has a son, Ben.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or career:
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
