BIO

Originally from Chicago, John earned his Bachelors Degree from Illinois State University. With a desire to pursue his dream of owning his own business, he started as a runner on the financial floors of Chicago’s booming futures industry. He learned the business quickly, working his way up the ranks and eventually owning his own brokerage group on the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange, specializing in short term interest rates.

After retiring from the financial industry in 2010, John and his wife, Lara, a native North Carolinian, moved to NC so Lara could pursue her career goals. Eager to fulfill his competitive drive, superior negotiating skills, and the desire to work with and help others, John turned to Real Estate. He found the perfect firm in the My Real Estate family of companies, working with highly skilled professionals in a collaborative team environment and spanning multiple sectors within the real estate industry.

John lives in South Charlotte and spends his leisure time with his wife and 3 children, coaching and attending youth sports and dance recitals, and hiking with his Rhodesian Ridgeback, Gracie. He is passionate about his Chicago sports teams, music, his church, continued education and personal development.
