He attended UW Marathon County from 1973-75 and UW Stevens Point from 1975-1977 studying political science. In 1974, at the age of eighteen he was elected to represent the 2nd District on the Wausau City Council and the Marathon County Board. From 1981 to 1988 he served as a member of the Wisconsin Assembly representing the 85th Assembly District and in 1988 he was elected Mayor where he served for four years.
John was the youngest person elected to the Wausau City Council and the Marathon County Board. He spent his early years in office working on expanding the openness of government through district meetings and fighting for compliance with the open meetings law. As Mayor he worked to institute policies that resulted in the City being run more like a business include instituting department head meeting, developing a capital improvement plan, expanding the Wausau West Industrial Park, revitalization of housing and publishing the first city newsletter.
Since leaving the office of Mayor, John has worked on environmental projects, currently serving as a supervisor in the DNR's Remediation & Redevelopment Program. In 2005 he was elected to represent the 3rd District on the Marathon County Board of Supervisors.
