Prior to joining the commercial real estate industry, John served in the army on active duty from 1991 to 1995. His childhood dream was to join the military as an officer, so he pursued it. He served in Korea, Egypt, Israel, Germany, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and San Antonio, TX.
He felt it was time to leave the army after achieving the rank of captain. After resigning, he went to work for Buckeye International in Maryland Heights, MO, selling chemicals. That year, he was based in Memphis, TN, and his area included Western Tennessee, North Mississippi, all of Arkansas, and a small portion of northwest Alabama. He was subsequently presented with an offer he couldn’t refuse: a job in commercial real estate.
Since 2013, John has served on the Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House board of directors. This wonderful organization allows relatives and caregivers of veterans and active-duty military personnel to remain in a comfortable atmosphere while the service member or veteran is in the hospital for free.
He enjoys traveling, reading, trying new restaurants, and spending time with his family and friends in his spare time.
