John specializes in people, leadership, and organizational health. His professional work spans more than 21 years of executive leadership in church, PK-12 school, non-profit, higher education, and start-up enterprise. He is an innovative leader in advancement, vision and executive leadership, operations, finance, and communication.

In his career, he has doubled enrollment, cast God-sized vision, erased decades-old debt, written policy, raised hundreds of millions of dollars for organizational growth, coached boards of directors, and partnered with nonprofit and community leaders all over the United States. He holds a doctorate degree in organizational leadership from Vanderbilt University and two degrees from Harding University: a master’s degree in professional counseling and a B.A. in ministry.

John lives on a small farm in Fairview, Tennessee with his wife Brittany and their daughter. When he’s not helping organizations, he’s probably wading a stream for brown or rainbow trout or training his English setter puppies, Dottie and Ruby, for upland bird hunting.
