From Pre-Med to Purpose-Driven Leadership
Originally on a pre-med path at the University of Oklahoma, John shifted his focus to education and leadership, driven by his passion for helping others grow. His journey — from busboy to leader in education and beyond — reflects his belief that leadership is built in the trenches, not just in boardrooms.
When not guiding leaders, John enjoys golf, running, and making memories with his wife Jennifer, their three children, and grandchild.
