Early life

[edit]

Weisbarth was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but grew up in Coronado, California, the son of a handyman. At age 12 he starred in a film called The Treasure, released only on video. After graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a major in communication and a minor in sports management, Weisbarth continued working for his father's home maintenance business for a while before entering California's local television as a host and producer.[3][4][7][8][9]

Career

[edit]

After graduating from college and a stint in his father's business, Weisbarth entered local California television as a sportscaster and, later, as a shows producer, which work earned him seven regional Emmy Awards in total. In 2014 he got his major break when he was hired by fyi to co-host Tiny House Nation with carpenter and tiny-house movement advocate Zack Giffin.[3][5] He continued to co-host the show in 2019 when it moved to fyi's parent network, A&E. The show also started airing on Netflix in August 2019.[10]

In 2015, Weisbarth was assigned to host Tiny House World, also on fyi.[5] He, along with Giffin, also became a part of Zillow's Speaker Series.[11]

Personal life

Weisbarth lives in San Diego, California with his wife Megan and their son Jake. He is an avid surfer and soccer player.[3] During the COVID-19 pandemic, he launched a YouTube show titled Covid Cocktails with John Weisbarth.[8]
