John grew up in southeastern Oklahoma and has made a few stops around the country before settling in Tulsa. He’s lived in Durant, Austin, and Colorado Springs, each place shaping his love of open spaces and friendly community vibes. By 2021, Oklahoma called him back home, where he’s been ever since, blending his small-town roots with his knack for connection and problem-solving.

On any given weekend, you’ll find John outside with his wife and their German Shepherd. They camp, hike, and explore off-road trails, following curiosity wherever it leads. He’s handy with woodworking tools and enjoys tackling home projects—his proudest was taking down a kitchen wall and rebuilding it from the studs. When he’s home, he spins vinyl records or picks a few tunes on his vintage Gibson guitar.

As a systems engineer, John thrives on building relationships and helping clients turn things around on tough days. He brings the same calm persistence he uses on the trail to every project he tackles. Ask him about his first (and only) big slot machine win or his favorite local spot for smoked brisket.
