John Moody received a BSc from the University of Saskatchewan in 2006 and an MA from the University of Western Ontario in 2010. His MA thesis used zooarchaeological data from an early Thule Inuit archaeological site to assess the landscape knowledge of a pioneering population. He completed his doctorate at the University of Western Ontario in 2018 where his research focused on the petrographic analysis of Inuit pottery as a tool for examining social and historical processes.

John has participated in archaeological surveys and excavations in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Ontario.

John joined TMHC in 2015 as a GIS Technician and became the GIS and Digital Information Manager later that year. In his current role, he oversees all aspects of project mapping, including the creation of archaeological potential models, drone survey and photogrammetry, cartography and database design and management. He has also produced cartographic products for museum displays and publications.

John currently sits on the London Advisory Committee on Heritage Archaeology Sub-Committee.
