I spent five years volunteering with John as leaders in Cub Scouts, and I’ve seen his character tested on everything from rain-soaked campouts to complex community events. As a retired Army officer and fellow civilian employee of the Army, I recognize a leader when I see one. John is someone who shows up and stays committed—whether it was serving as a Den Leader for his son and daughter for over a decade or mentoring the next generation of leaders. He is a dedicated family man and an outdoorsman who understands the value of hard work and persistence. In real estate, just as in Scouting, you need someone who is reliable and stays the course. That is exactly who John is.
