I am currently seeking employment in journalism, marketing or advertising firms. I earned my bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri—Columbia in 2017, with an emphasis in arts and entertainment journalism through the magazine department. In 2019, I earned my master of art's degree specifically studying audience engagement and preferences within the medium of magazine journalism. 

​

I have written for a number of websites (ZouFeed.com, TheRiffReader.com, ProWrestling.com) and publications (Columbia Missourian, Vox Magazine) over the last few years. Besides writing, I have also spent time as a reporter, editor, graphics designer and social media manager as well as a disc jockey and on-air personality for the student radio station at MU. 

​

I was born and raised in Homer Glen, Illinois, before enrolling in the Missouri School of Journalism in 2013. In my free time, I like to play guitar and bass, read novels and watch sports. One of my many goals in life is to visit every Major League Baseball park. Reach out to me at johnbheniff@gmail.com or drop me a message here on the site if you would like to talk more.
