He went to Northeast Jones High School in Laurel, Mississippi, Walker College in Jasper, Alabama, and Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, Louisiana, that is now known as the University of Louisiana Monroe. He played college basketball at Walker College, from 1988 to 1990, and Northeast Louisiana University, from 1990 to 1992. His last name was Byrd when he was in college because he was adopted as a child and changed his name back to Arrington when he grew up. He joined the United States Navy in 1995 and served in the Persian Gulf. After the Navy, he made a career in the power line industry, where he still works today. From college to the Navy and his travels working on power lines, John has almost been around the world.
