John's Story

Gday mates, how ya goin. (I'll never get that Australian accent just right). Yep, down here on the beach in "The land down under"- -and what an amazing country it is. Lets start with my slightly later history from 1969. BARELY finished CV but was lucky enough to be hired by Disney Productions in 1970 as a novice sculptor/mold maker in prototypes for Disney World. Disney is an amazing company and spares no expense to train their employees, I was hungry, I was a sponge for the schtuff they had to offer for 6.5 years, then.,after leaving the Mouse factory I slowly ventured towards TV and film production as a props and set builder/designer for most of the major studios,.. Started my own company in 1980 doing Special Effects and creative construction for unusual-impossible projects ..all over the planet- for film, TV and Music videos,. Sold the company in 2000, RETIRED at 50 and moved to Oz. I / we enjoy traveling and being retired allows me to donate my time to schools, the community and other worthy causes, and there is lots of them I'm still designing, building and inventing stuff...Expand for more
for friends and relatives ---- It keeps my brain and body active --- and its fun. .Married for 14 years to Kathy Walsh right out of high school (married tooo young)--then the big D-- single for 6 yrs,--then married an Ozzy girl --- 23 yrs worth- then another BIG D--$$$ouch--Currently hooked up with the love of my life-for the rest of my life, with an Irish/Celtic princess --we have our heads, our hearts and and our values connected----yahoooo. At the time of writing this (01/10/18) had 2 marriages, 4 kids (2 boys-2 girls aged from 24 to 48 and a pack of VERY cool dogs in-between.. I'm lucky enough to have a great visual memory and think of yall often from when we where at school in 69 ---and at this age-- 50 years later (the ones I can remember) Warms my heart and puts a smile on my face from where we started, to where we are now. What an amazing trip for a lucky boy on this big beautiful blue planet. Wish you all health, happiness and wisdom,, CHEERS MATES (Australian for warm regards) John Blom (down under)
