John Conroy

John Conry, a former US Marine Corps fighter pilot and writer, draws inspiration from his childhood experiences as an Army brat to write his novels.

He is the author of numerous works, such as The Lords of Discipline and South of Broad. Additionally, he has worked in television and his novels have been adapted for film several times.

Early Life and Education

John Conry was born in Wales to Anglo-Irish parents and served in the army as an equerry for Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn. As Duchess Victoria (then Princess Kent), John served her for 19 years as her confidant and political agent.

He was also instrumental in devising the Kensington System, a stringent set of regulations designed to raise Victoria under strict control. The goal was to make her weak-willed and dependent upon Conroy and his colleagues so that one day they would gain power over her.

He earned his degree from The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, where he majored in English. Following this experience, he wrote The Water Is Wide – a book which documented his teaching career.

Professional Career

John Conry, a former professional hockey player, made his mark by staring in movies and television. His most renowned role was that of The Dark Knight – a character he created during the late 1980s.

Conry has been an active participant in his community throughout his career. He has served as a volunteer coach for youth lacrosse programs and tutored students at local high schools.

He is an active participant in his church and volunteers as a mentor for two young children from the community.

He volunteers his free time for a project called “Project Renewal,” a mobile medical van that brings HIV testing and health care services to homeless individuals in New York City. He has been part of this initiative for nearly six years.

Achievements and Honors

Conry made a major impact as head coach of the Maryland men’s lacrosse team in 2014, leading them to conference title and their first NCAA tournament appearance in five years. Throughout his tenure, his squad earned several accolades including ranking among top 15 nationally for points allowed defense.

He has also been recognized with the University’s Service Award, one of the highest honors bestowed upon faculty members. Other recipients include:

Personal Life

John Conroy was an engaging public figure known for his witty remarks and ability to listen attentively to other people’s stories.

He was an accomplished writer, but his success came at a price. His two novels explored his military brat upbringing and difficult relationship with his father – a US Marine pilot – in poignant detail.

He then turned his experiences teaching underprivileged children on Daufuskie Island, off the coast of South Carolina, into “The Water is Wide,” which earned him a humanitarian award from the National Education Association and made Conroy an acclaimed author. This novel was also adapted into a film called “Conrack.” With its success came other novels; most notably “The Great Santini,” which heavily drawn from Conroy’s own childhood struggles and was used as evidence during divorce proceedings between his parents.

Net Worth

John Conry has an estimated net worth of $1 million. He is best known for his role as the voice behind DC Comics superhero Batman.

Throughout his career, he appeared in several films and television shows. Additionally, he provided the voice for several video games.

As a result, he amassed an impressive fortune through his acting and other activities. Ultimately, this increased his net worth to $10 million.

He owns a 9,550 square foot mansion in Coral Gables, Florida that features six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Listed earlier this month for $19.5 million, the property appears to have been sold within one year for a profit. Situated on 1.6 acres with 212 feet of waterfront frontage, the house appears to have been flipped for profit shortly thereafter.
