About Me

Creative professional, idea generator, likes to help others and use my talents and abilities to serve my community, state, country and our global neighbors. I invite everyone to visit my website at thejohndmcmahonco.com. My background includes a lot of broadcast and non-broadcast work with non-profit organizations such as World Vision International, Comic Relief and St. Jude Children's Hospital. I have also written for national and international publications on a wide variety of topics and interests.I'm currently in development on a number of positive impact film, television, and literary projects. When I'm not making films or writing, I like to play piano, draw/paint, learn new dance moves and learn to cook new dishes (excuse me, do you have any heavy whipping cream in the refrig?).The Volunteer Center Business Services
