About The Author

John Van Horn

JVH grew up among the orange groves in Ventura County just north of Los Angeles. His mother taught elementary students, his father ran the local newspaper. After graduating from UCLA and spending three years in the Army during the Vietnam era, he returned home and worked with his father on the local weekly.

In 1996 he founded Parking Today magazine. He sold Parking Today in 2024 and is now ‘sort of “retired. During his tenure as publisher of PT, he was honored to have been asked to speak before Parking Audiences in China, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Canada, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, France, Spain, and the UK. His travels in the US have taken him before groups in 20 states. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Robyn and dog Gigi.

JVH continues to publish his “Death by Parking” series of books (he is now working on his third) and blogs regularly. His comments can be found at jvhreflections.com. He can be reached at jvh@jvhreflections.com
