John Weasel
John Weasel was a man who did his best to be there for his grandchildren. He enjoyed playing golf, fishing and spending time with them.
He had a special affinity for small, endangered mammals and dedicated his career to researching black-footed ferrets and eastern spotted skunk populations. Now his new mission is studying weasels.
Early Life and Education
Weasels are carnivores, typically feeding on mice, voles, rats and rabbits. They possess an aggressive nature; they will chase their prey through holes and crevices in dense foliage or up trees and into water to escape.
They may also raid chicken coops looking for mice. Since these creatures don’t store fat, they must eat frequently.
The least weasel is one of the smallest true carnivores, yet it possesses great wisdom and courage to hunt animals four or five times its size. Additionally, it tends to stay hidden due to living underground and rarely leaving its burrow.
John’s interest in journalism stems from his family background, which includes his mother Eleanor Darnton and father Barney Darnton – both journalists. John attended Trinity Bible College and Bellevue University with an emphasis on leadership development.
Professional Career
John Weasel has been in the music industry for some time and knows his craft well.

He boasts an impressive list of non-musical accomplishments, from writing and staring to designing and constructing the largest building of its kind in Asbury Park. Needless to say, his efforts have been well rewarded. His career has been most rewarding when he has had the chance to make a positive difference in lives of so many. As evidenced by his book of the month title, he has extensive experience in leadership development as well as involvement in numerous church and parachurch ministries across multiple denominations.
