Biography:

John F. Carroll was born in El Paso, Texas, and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. In high school, he was a state-ranked track & field and cross-country runner. He also ran in the Junior Olympics his senior year. After graduation, he attended Midland Lutheran College in Fremont, Nebraska, on a track and cross-country scholarship, and lettered in tennis as a walk-on during his sophomore year. While attending Midland, he was elected class president, appointed Entertainment Director for campus activities, joined the Kappa Phi fraternity, ministered as a Liturgical clown and appeared in campus theatre productions. He holds an Associate of Science degree in Nursing (ASN) from Excelsior College and is a Registered Nurse in Nebraska. In 2000, he delivered the senior commencement speech at Bellevue University after graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Criminal Justice.

After leaving Midland, Carroll spent nearly three years in the United States Air Force where he worked as a medic. In 1990, he moved to Los Angeles, Calif., where he then spent almost eight years working with people afflicted with AIDS. During this period, he raised money and donated significant time and energy to numerous AIDS organizations.

In 1997, Carroll returned to Omaha and began working with US West/Qwest, a telecommunication and broadband company. He soon became a successful sales consultant and trainer. In his spare time, he became a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America, the world's largest industry-related volunteer organization, and raised money for various relief and community events. In 2001, he decided to leave his job to attend law school.

Carroll briefly attended Creighton University School of Law in August, 2001, but withdrew when he was informed that he had been selected to participate in SURVIVOR: MARQUESAS. He will return to Creighton in August, 2002, to resume his law studies.

John Carroll is an avid fan of the University of Nebraska Cornhusker's football team. His other hobbies include digital photography, playing volleyball, lifting weights, running, swimming, landscaping and adding to his hot-sauce collection. He also donates his time and services to the Van Ness Recovery House, Nebraska AIDS Project, LA Goal/Inside Out Productions and The Elephant Sanctuary. Currently single, Carroll lives in Omaha with his dog, Kimbah. His birth date is June 14.\

He sounds amazing.I can't believe all the volenteer work he does.It's a little strange to have a hot sauce collection though.I wonder how the massage oils will go over with the ladies.

I think we have more than one this time.

He reminds me of Bunky a little (hopefully without the crying)

Guess so Amac. I wondered with his job, his involvement with AIDS projects and the massage oil but didn't want to sterotype too too bad. I had been suspecting it was Gabriel.

From the 1st article, it said he "ministered as a Liturgical clown"

First of all, what does that mean?

Second, don't tell Moon or Snee. They are afraid of clowns.

I have a daughter, who is a deejay in Omaha. She has loved Survivor since the first series. Starting with the Austrailian Outback, she has been hosting "Survivor Parties" for her station at a local night spot.

There were these two roommates that used to come every week. Then one week, one of the roommates arrived solo. She asked him, "Where's John?"

She was told that John had some personal business to take care of and wouldn't be around for awhile. Then one night, during the finale of Survior #3, in comes BOTH roommates. John was looking mighty tan, and had a lost a LOT of weight.

"Where have you been?", she asked.

John replied with a great big smile..."I can't tell you, but if you let your imagination run wild...you'll will probably be right."

...and she kept that a secret from me until the Survivor #4 contestants were introduced. Then she called and said.."Okay, I can tell you now!
I know one of the Surivor #4 contestants!"

She tells me that John is a really super nice guy...and yes...he is gay.

I will be supporting John all way!
