John was born and raised in Adelaide, after his parents migrated from Ireland.

While John was in his mid-twenties, an injury at the gym landed him in a chiropractic clinic. The recovery from this serious injury was impressive and John became an advocate for chiropractic. Over the next few years, John decided that he should follow his passion for chiropractic and achieve the ultimate goal of becoming a chiropractor himself.

John returned to study, receiving his Bachelor Degree in Health Sciences from Adelaide University in 2007. From there he advanced to Macquarie University, where he graduated in 2010 with a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic.

With his chiropractic credentials in hand, John returned to South Australia to begin his new career. John worked for a year in the country, being based in Whyalla and servicing a number of different county towns in the state’s northern region.
