Christina Iwanitza

John Quinlan - I haven't known you long. But in the short amount of time that I have, I move learned a lot of things about you. I put them into a list.

1. You're a fighter. When people said give up, it's not worth it. You fought! You stood up and said, I don't think so! And you fought with all you have. And you've came a long way.

2. You're a great friend. You're always there for your friends. And you're honest. Loyalty is a great thing.

3. You're a great father. You're kids are your heart. And that's a wonderful thing. Being a father isn't always easy. Sometimes there's ups, other times there's downs. But, the love you show for your kids, is so great to see.

4. You're stronger than you think.

5. Never give up.

6. Hard worker.

7. The love you show your wife. Is great to see. It's nice to know that being a gentle mend isn't out of style. You're love for her, gives hope to others. Hope that they too, can find someone to love like that.

8. You're journey has only begun!

9. You're destined for greatness!

10. Last, but not least, I'M PROUD OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

Jennifer Ann Reeves – Writer

John you are an amazing man. A fighter. A believer. You're a great father and husband. You give hope and strength to those around you. You give your all and nothing less.

Carmen Terronez

I can say a million things about you John but the most important one of all is I'm glade to call you friend. You have been such a good friend to me and the rest of Bitten Press. Your kind words and help of encouragements have been more priceless to me then gold. In my book you are definitely King of Beasts.

Bitten Press Publishing Co.

John, you're a dedicated athlete, loyal friend, and most of all a loving dad. God bless.

Gerry Triano

John is a proud- loving father and a kind and thoughtful person. John has supported well needed causes helping to spread awareness such as the Wrappednpink Breast Cancer Awareness Organization, to me it doesn't matter how well known or unknown you may be or how much wealth you may or may not have in our society, what counts is how you give back to the communities to enlighten, educate, empower and motivate an awareness to situations affecting the world in which we live. And John Quinlan, does just that! Best wishes John.

Anita Jeter-Peterkin

John, I don't know u personally only on here as one of my Facebook friends but I can see from reading your posts that you’re a great father and u love your kids very much and u enjoy your work.

Claudia Henry

John has a kind heart and a strong spirit. He has an energy about him that is contagious and addictive. I always look forward to seeing his work and hearing about his kids!

Shiloh Darke – Writer

It is with great confidence and a distinct pleasure that I write to you, on behalf of my friend John Quinlan. John is one of the most caring people I have ever met. John is focused and firm in his commitments, but never loses his ability to care for those around him. John has an uncanny ability to accomplish his goals through his dedication and self-sacrificing nature. John is very organized, efficient, and extremely competent with his work. He also maintains excellent relationships with his peers. John Quinlan is courteous, professional and sincere. He is dedicated to his family, and is highly regarded in his community. I am honored to include John as a close friend. I highly recommend John for any position that highlights his skills and wonderful personality.

Richard G. “Rick” Rota – President Cape Cod Aerial Photography

John I can honestly say you are one of the very few people I call my friend and brother. Also anyone that knows you can tell you are an awesome father.

Jose Rodriguez

John, when I first met you, I was pleasantly surprised to see how nice, genuine, and humble you were. A true friend for life, handsome, funny, caring, determined, professional, dedicated to your family and an amazing father to your children.

Kristin Secorsky – Writer

John is a wonderful, dedicated man to both his art and his family. It has been a joy getting to know him.

Dannielle Mastello Scheuer

I think John Quinlan is a very great person in many ways. I like that he is a family man, and I have found him a good friend on Facebook. He encourages me as a writer and I am glad to see his own successes in his field. I look forward to finishing a book which can feature him on the cover and feel that he can be fantastic in this as well.

Anna Patterson – Writer

John Quinlan is an amazing talent and very approachable by his fans. He is a dedicated family man, which makes him all the more sexy if that were even possible. I would hire him in a heartbeat for one of my covers.

Scarlette D'Noire – Writer

Hmmm... what can I say that I haven't already? There are no words for someone that has done so much and gotten such great success, yet still has his head down at the same level as the rest of us and treats us as kindly and sweet as he does. He could easily be riding on his high horse while looking down his nose at us but instead he has stayed on level ground. I have not met such a kind person that knows he has his followers to thank, and what's great is that he does. This is the man that thanks every single person in his life for just being there, so the gratitude from him is overwhelming. John has become someone I can rely on to lift me when my spirits are down without having the images to back him up. If anyone has missed out on the mass of a man he is in person, they are missing out on so much that needs experienced. I say this, "Thank you John for being my friend and reminding me that there are GREAT people out there. Your friendship is a true treasure."

Crystal Rister – Writer

From the moment I met John we were friends. With his kind spirit and open personality he makes everyone comfortable around him. One of the things I enjoyed besides hearing his cute Boston accent was how dedicated his is not only to his career, but to his family.

Hildie McQueen – Writer

JQ is the most dedicated, hardworking, and strong willed person I know, and it is an Honor to be called a Friend.

John Latimer

I did not know John for very long, his smile and charismatic attitude created such a positive environment...Truly a stand-up gentleman!!

Heather Dixon

Thank you John, Wrapped-N-Pink appreciates your support.

Anita Jeter-Peterkin

A genuine man with an amazing heart. An inspiration, a father that all men should aspire to be. A kind gentle soul who's beauty radiates from within. Someone we should all strive to be more like. In essence, a truly good person.

Jennifer Gruler Haren – Writer

More than just the muscles u see a real family man and father that cares about not only the simple things is raising children but will wear many capes well the small or tall are in need! Go super hero! One of a kind. Others take notes :)

Sandy Marie Apeldoorn

Don't know you in real life, but you always treat your followers with kindness and respect. Someday when I make it in the business, I'll have you as a cover for one of my books. Doesn't hurt that you're and excellent father.

Nena Duran – Writer

John Quinlan filmed a performance for my enhanced eBook and did a phenomenal job! He's professional and very talented. Not only did he go the extra mile to produce the short film, but he is interacting with my readers and helping me promote as well. This gentleman is much, much more than a pretty face.

Debra Anastasia – Writer

John was kind enough to be photographed in a few of my "No Limits" brand underwear in exchange for being our 2012 model of the year. He did a great job, and we have communicated ever since then. He also did a short "thank you" video to me as well. A consummate professional and all around great guy.

Suzanne Carner

He is a wonderful human being, modest, honest, faithful, and a great family man!

I wish only the best for my friend and his family.

Diane Seery

John Quinlan is the cover model for my as-yet-to-be-released vampire book. I love this man; he is so kind and knows how to give respect to everyone. I've never heard a single bad word toward anyone come from him. He has my complete respect and friendship...for life.

CM Wright – Writer

Despite being in the fitness and entertainment business where people can be "divas" (men and women), John is such a wonderful, humble and gracious man and a complete professional. Look forward to doing more work with him on creative projects. He is the cover model for my upcoming book ‘Fitness Between the Sheets.’ Not only does he work hard to do well in this business, but he is mindful to help and support others.

Jillian Bullock – Writer & Producer

God Bless you John

Faith Highlander – Writer

In the short time that I have known John, I have found him to be honest, loyal, family orientated, caring and kind. He always has people’s best interests at heart. I feel that no matter what his circumstances are, he will always try to help if he is able. I already count John as a good friend and a very humble and God fearing man.

Thomas Clark

Fan Mail

I am a big fan of John's body of work and I was hoping I
might be able to request an autographed photo.

Kelly Glynn - Belvidere, New Jersey

Hey John, big fan from Toronto! I was just wondering if
it's possible to get an autographed photograph. Also, just had two quick
questions. 1) Will we ever see you return to the ring? 2) Will we ever see you
go full Monty? (Sorry, I just had to ask lol)

Jeromme – Toronto, Canada

Your modeling pictures are very beautiful!!! I love them
soooooo much!!! You have a great face, a nice sight and a very beautiful
body/muscle structure!!!! Keep up the good work John!!! YOU ROOOCK!!! Best
regards and we keep in touch!!! XOXOXO

Fedhi - Lattes, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

shoot together please don’t hesitate to ask!

Laci - Yulee, Florida

Amazing body man... great job

AJ - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Killer physique dude

Adam – new York, new York

I love your look

Amy – Orlando, Florida

Wow u are a sexy dude

Eriq – west palm beach, florida

You look amazing

Gary – los angeles, California

You are a big beautiful man - I normally don\'t reach out
to male models since I am a female and have a private home studio. I would love to shoot you someday

Kate - Phoenix, Arizona

You are just stunning!

Sidney – New York, new York

Great look and build. As for the ink, never thought of
you as a trouble maker, far from it. I see a man that loves his family. I see a
man that has a smile and looks that will win many over. I see a man that took
his body to a level that not many will ever. I see a man that is going to be a
great father to his daughter and his sons are so lucky to have a great dad like
you. I don't see a trouble maker or bad ass man. I see one damn amazing man. Many
people may think that you are one huge muscle and what people don't realize, is
your heart is bigger than your muscles.

John Michael - Buffalo, New York

I just looked over your port on MM - I have to say these
are some of the most beautiful pics I've ever seen on MM or on the Internet
over all. I just thought I would drop u
a line to tell u this.

December Moon Films - Beverly Hills, California

You’re in great shape!

Bailey - Boston, Massachusetts

Your body is looking muy caliente

Dora - Austin, Texas

Your work is fab!

Amy - Oxford, England, United Kingdom

I just wanted to say I love your pics amazing body and
you don't look like you’re in your 30s either.

Kimberly - Beverly, Massachusetts

I think it is great that you have lent your body out to
THE ARTS rather than only the commercial world.
Photography is fine, but there is something more satisfying in
sculpture, painting and drawing.

Robert – Providence, Rhode Island

John I'd welcome the chance to work together - you're
like a perfect invention - comic book hero style. I produced a film - Spaceman
on Earth which premiered at Cannes - it sounds funny but was
a big hit, about a
1950s astronaut that gets pegged as a commie by his Martian neighbor, it has
50-foot women, cops, green screen, animation, puppeteering, and lots of
references to classic cinema, B-cinema, sci-fi genre. When we follow up with a
sequel, would be great to have you in it. You could play such an interesting
character, like a super violent menacing fighter with a heart of gold - like a
gentle giant. Written with lots of humor which is our forte. Your training is
impeccable, and you fit the part perfectly.

Alex - Los Angeles, California

John, I like that you are humble enough to NOT talk to
people as if you are better than them. Humility is a rare and beautiful
thing. Good to know that you are spoken
well of. You look GREAT! Keep up the
hard work, it shows!

Nicole – Houston, Texas

You are a great looking guy, and from what I can tell,
you already have a pretty solid grasp on what your goals are - so you are way
ahead of many of the other models.

Flyfoto - Boston, Massachusetts

Your work is hot!

Frank - Miami Beach, Florida

I just love your look!

Allison - Cincinnati, Ohio

I saw your profile on Model Mayhem and I think you have a
very strong, masculine face and build.

Auburnex - Boston, Massachusetts

Amazing photos - great work! My best wishes.

David - Palm Springs, California

A top notch model and athlete like you deserves
recognition. Also, from reviewing your pictures, you seriously should enter
yourself in our MBN Championship. This
is a contest that we feel extremely confident that you will be a finalist hands
down.
