He is the co-owner and co-captain of the F/V Time Bandit that is seen on the Discovery Channel's reality show Deadliest Catch. Born in Homer, Alaska, USA, Hillstrand is the oldest of five brothers. Like the rest of his siblings, John grew up on various commercial fishing boats with his late father, John Hillstrand, Sr.

These boats ranged from a 38-foot gillnetter to various crabbers, which included the first incarnation of the Time Bandit. As Captain of Time Bandit during King Crab season, he runs a tight ship. With the dangers of fishing the Bering Sea, the safety of his crew is his top priority. John splits his shore time between Seattle and Homer, Alaska.
