John's Story
Life
After graduation, I went to Mercer County Community College for 2 years and got my A.A.S. in Television. Then it was up to New York and the College of Mt. St. Vincent for 2 years. Had a total blast up there, met and became close friends with a lot of way cool people. And, surprise, surprise, Mr. "Couldn't Get Me To Drink In High School If You Put A Gun To My Head" did get sloshed on quite a few occassions. All I gotta say is don't drink Margaritas fast. Yikes Stripes!
After I got out of school, I went to work at NJ 101.5 and rose to the level of anchor/reporter. Covered lots of cool stuff, including the Trenton Thunder. I got a bunch of interviews with Nomar Garciaparra on tape. In 1996, I moved to Prescott, AZ, where I am News Director/Sportscaster for KYCA-AM. Doing what I said I'd do throughout high school. Play-by-play. We cover Prescott High School football, basketball & baseball. Even called a game at America West Arena (home of the Phoenix Suns) when the girls basketball team made it to the state playoffs. That reeked of awesomeness! In Nov, 2003, the KYCA brass fulfilled my wildest dreams and made me sports director. Now all I do is cover local sports. Even did Arizona Cardinals training camp in 2004 when they were in Prescott.
In the publishing world, I had 2 articles published in "Lighthouse Digest" and "Detective Cases" magazines. In 2001 my first novel was published, the sci-fi adventure "Epsilon," about a college student who becomes a superhero. ...Expand for more
A new endeavor I've gotten involved with is writing fanfiction.net, which is writing original stories for established TV shows or movies or books. Most of the stuff I've written is for Harry Potter, but I also have a Star Blazers fanfic and a crossover fic with Dr. Who & Star Trek (over 2500 hits on that one and counting). My stories span all types from adventure to humor to love (yes, I can write a love story if I put my mind to it), angst and my favorite type, lots of stuff getting blown up. Since this place won't let me post the web address, just Google JJ Rust Harry Potter and that will get you to my site.
Personal life-wise, still single and available. I've also become an exercise nut. Walking, kickboxing, weights. Damn, exercise makes you feel good.
And if you want a music recommendation from me, check out Nightwish. They are a symphonic metal band from Finland and they kick butt!! I saw them in concert Nov '07 in Tempe with their new singer Anette Olzon. She has a great voice and, oh yeah, is totally hot! And I got the autographs of all the band members, too! Anyway, I'd highly recommend their CDs "Once," "Century Child" and their latest "Dark Passion Play."
And showing how totally awesome XM Satellite radio is, along with tons of baseball and hockey games and talk shows, they've introduce XM 59, the all Led Zeppelin Channel. There is a God.
Well, all you Lions, Cats, Gladiators, Northstars, Vikings and Dolphins (Damn, I went to a lot of schools) take care.
