John is a proud Oregon native. He enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, skiing, golfing, and reading.
I believe in the power of a well-aligned team. Through my experiences playing college and "professional" football, and as COO of an educational services company, I saw how setting clear expectations, holding myself and others accountable, empowering others, and celebrating successes could drive powerful results. Our firm's team quadrupled in size and built sustainable infrastructure that not only created value for investors, but brought us closer to achieving our mission of helping young people discover and achieve their dreams.
