Since then, John has gone on to voice hundreds of characters in shows with ADV Films, Funimation, and Illumitoons to name a few. Being more of the character actor type has given John the freedom to voice bazillions of characters. John is the most prolific male voice actor in North America - "too toot". Most recently, John voiced the role of General Disdain in the animated feature film, The Last Flight of the Champion from Omnipulse Entertainment.

Other favorite roles include Jinnouchi in Summer Wars, Kogoro in Sgt.

In 2004, John jumped to the other side of the "mic" to direct. Some of the shows he has directed include Welcome to the N.H.K., AirGear, Wandaba Style, St. Seiya, Shadow Skill, E's Otherwise, Michel, Jinki Extend and Shinobi (live action co-directed with longtime pal, Kyle Jones). Currently John is working on an animated short series with pal Jones called Zeke and Zerlon6.

John loves working in the world of voice acting: both in front of the "mic" and behind the "mic", but never to the side of the "mic"! In addition, John has also voiced thousands of national, regional, and local radio and tv commercials.
