Biography John Hambrock was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The youngest of 3 boys from a working class household, he would call Ft. Wayne his home until leaving for college at the age of 18. Hambrock did not have a career as a cartoonist in mind, initially during his early years it was marine biology. While he was interested in science, it was the arts in which he finally majored.

Education Hambrock was voted the most artistic male in his senior class in High School. He then attended Indiana University. He has a degree in Graphic Design, from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.

John left Hirsch after 10 years to start his agency, In-House Communications. His company specializes in industrial advertising, packaging and print design, with a client list that includes major industrial and retail manufacturers, as well as one of the country's leading law firms. They have two sons and a daughter, and continue to draw inspiration from their family interactions. Drawing Ernie the Elf opened his eyes to the passion of cartooning. It was this passion, combined with a love of science, an interest in politics, and a flair for writing that eventually led to the creation of The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee. Launched by King Features Syndicate on November 12, 2006, the comic strip has continued publication in newspapers worldwide.
