John has overseen, organized and directed major remodeling of several homes for his clients utilizing skills he learned while working for his Grandfather’s construction company. "If a Realtor hasn’t personally completed a remodel, how can they comprehend, understand, and estimate the cost on a renovation?"

He also founded a non-profit group called Life Management Alumni, an organization that cleans up cities, plants trees, and organizes food shelters and housing for people to empower themselves.
