His success as an adult student inspired him to pursue a University education. He applied to Wilfrid Laurier University as a mature student. His first success was to attain a Diploma in Business Administration, but that success ignited a spark. If he could achieve the Diploma, perhaps he could go on to attain a Degree? He did just that!

Performed several times as a stand-up comic
Blessed with a sense of humour, John often wondered if he good have any success as a stand-up comic. He had to prove to himself he could do it. Although a career in comedy was not in the cards, he did prove he had the courage to do it. His performances included several appearances at fall fairs, one television show as well as performing at Lulu's Roadhouse in Kitchener Ontario.
