He remains a college football fan, which is how he ended up coaching later.
Coaching
Arizona high schools
After his marketing career was underway, John coached high-school football in the East Valley:
- Casteel High School, Chandler Unified School District
- Higley High School, Gilbert Public Schools
These roles are recorded from his own professional history rather than a public staff directory.
