John served as editor of Wild Earth journal from 1991-96, when he went to work for the Foundation for Deep Ecology, overseeing their Biodiversity and Wildness grants program from 1997-2002. He then joined the Eddy Foundation as a board member to help conserve lands in Split Rock Wildway.

John served as conservation director of the Adirondack Council from 2005 to 2010, and returned to the Council staff in 2021.

   

John likes all CATS trails, but if he had to pick a favorite – it would be the Flying Squirrel Trail.
