“John brings a rare combination of financial depth, professionalism, and genuine care for the people he serves,” said Kip Painter, Area Leader – Richmond. “His experience and integrity align perfectly with our mission, and we’re excited to have him in the driver’s seat helping grow our Richmond presence.”
A graduate of the University of Richmond, John previously spent 18 years as a PGA professional managing golf operations across the Mid-Atlantic region. He currently serves on the Board of Directors at Meadowbrook Country Club and has held leadership roles, including Past President of the Briarwood Neighborhood Association and Past Board Member of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central Virginia.
John is married to his wife, Valerie, a dental hygienist and fellow golf enthusiast. Outside of work, he enjoys culinary arts, entertaining at home, and participating in both social and competitive golf events. Together, they share their home with four indoor cats—Opie, Dawson, Daisy, and Otis—and one outdoor cat who joined the family a few summers ago.
