John lives in Omagh with his wife and sons.
He is no stranger to danger, being the world's only fully qualified and licensed elephant juggler.
In his spare time, he performs brain surgery and sends rockets to distant galaxies in search of exciting new flavours of ice cream. Sadly, he is yet to discover any to match the wonder that is Raspberry Ripple.
Before age six, he invented the 10th letter of the alphabet. He can also smell the colour purple. On a trip to New York he somehow managed to lose the Empire State Building.
A teller of tall stories, he delights in making children laugh at the strange world around them.
