About John Briscoe
John Briscoe is a writer and communications professional with a career that defies easy categorization. A graduate of UCLA with a degree in English, Briscoe approached language and storytelling with the same intensity he brought to the pool as a Division I Men’s Water Polo player—competitive, precise, and built for high-stakes performance.
After UCLA, Briscoe built a multifaceted professional record spanning some of the most communication-intensive fields: corporate law, film, broadcasting, advertising, and public relations. This breadth of experience gave him an instinct for matching the right voice and message to the right audience—a skill as valuable in a legal brief as in a brand campaign.
At Bloomspot, a web advertising firm, Briscoe honed his copywriting craft in a fast-paced editorial environment. He wrote full-page brand articles, edited photography, served as the primary client contact, and was responsible for approving final drafts before publication—a workflow that demanded both creative fluency and meticulous attention to detail under daily deadlines.
Briscoe has also coached water polo, an experience that speaks to his ability to communicate strategy clearly and motivate others under pressure. At National Today, he brings that same versatility and deadline discipline to writing about culture, holidays, and the human moments that connect them.
