Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, John graduated from Miami University with a B.S. in Management and Organizations. He relocated to Florida to work for The Children’s Movement of Florida as an organizer early on in The Children’s Project of Palm Beach, a one-month pilot that would pave the way for The Children’s Movement of Florida. Shortly after, John became the regional coordinator for Miami-Dade, and was responsible for bringing together more than 1,700 supporters – the largest “Milk Party” rally in the state -- despite the downpour from Tropical Storm Julia. From October 2010 – December 2011, he served as the South Florida regional coordinator, coordinating regional committees in five different communities.

John is currently collaborating with United Way Women’s Leadership Councils and other partners across the state to define and deliver an early literacy initiative.In addition to business, John has been actively involved in music for the last decade in numerous bands. He spends his spare time working on his solo album, where he sings and plays the drums, guitar, bass, piano, viola and violin.
