John’s personal experience helping his grandmother navigate the physical, mental and financial challenges of longevity and senior care greatly influenced his future career path. |

Even though he’s on the road a good chunk of the time, one of John’s favorite diversions is personal travel with his family and friends. His latest destination recommendations: Quebec City, Quebec and Lisbon, Portugal. |

Having grown up in rural PA, John enjoys working outside on his John Deere tractor when not on the road. |

Despite his natural abilities to captivate a large audience, John is a self-described introvert. |
