Born March 20, 1957, Detroit, Michigan, USA - American journalist and writer.

John is the oldest of the four Grogan children. His father worked as an engineer for General Motors, and his mother was a housewife. It was from her, as John assures, that he got the talent for telling stories.

As a teenager, Grogan composed parodies, wrote for the school newspaper and even founded the "yellow" edition, for which he ended up in the principal's office. John began to make money by writing already at Central Michigan University: while studying in two specialties - journalism and English - he moonlighted as a columnist and received twenty-five cents per article.

He got his first full-time job immediately after graduation in 1979. He was hired as a police reporter in the Michigan town of St. Joseph.

After 1985, John's career took off to a new level - he won two grants in a row: at Ohio State University, where he received his master's degree, and at the Poynter Institute. After John decided to settle in Florida and got a job at a publication in Fort Lauderdale. It was there, as a columnist, that Grogan created the bulk of his upcoming book on Marley the out-of-control dog.

Grogan also had experience as an editor for The Organic Gardening magazine in Pennsylvania.

Grogan's memoir "Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog" won over many readers. Published in 2005, the book topped the USA Today and The New York Times bestseller lists.

A film was made based on the book "Marley and Me".

Following the success of Marley and Me, John decided to take a break from his newspaper work and devote all his time to writing new books.
