John Paradise(1961-2016)

John Paradise was a 1979 graduate of Goffstown High School, where he was Senior Class President, an accomplishment he was very proud of. After high school, he went on to graduate from Northeastern University in 1984 with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing. A thirst for knowledge led him to pursue another degree, this time in Broadcast Communications, again from Northeastern University. John had a very successful career with New York Air, something that gave him the opportunity to travel to many wonderful places and make friends from every corner of the globe. This inspired John to pack his bags and move to Hollywood, where he started The Paradise Group Talent Agency, specializing in the representation of on-camera talent for television and live events. Along with his partner, Jason Record, he formed Paradise Record Group, a consulting firm that provides expertise in the fields of Entertainment and Real Estate. John was always a perfectionist and a leader. He was the type of person who would always lend a hand to help others, but never without a touch of endearing sarcasm. One of his proudest accomplishments was becoming an Eagle Scout and a member of the Order of the Arrow, a society that honors scouts who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law.
