Rubin's career began in the military, where he served a three year active duty tour as a JAG Corps officer with the US Navy during the Vietnam War. After his service in the military, he worked as an attorney/advisor specializing in contract and procurement law for the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. He was then promoted to the position of labor lawyer and senior litigator for the Kansas City Region of the Federal Labor Relations Authority. John then rose to a position as a banking law specialist and senior litigator for the Kansas City Region of the FDIC. There, he prosecuted financial institutions and their officers. Due to his strong record of Federal service, John was appointed in October 1994 by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services as a United States Administrative Law Judge. He served in that capacity for ten years until his retirement in 2004.
Rubin graduated magna cum laude from Boston College in 1970. He earned his JD from the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis in 1973.
