John believes that his business experience in the service industry has given him the ability to help people from all sectors of the community communicate, understand each other and cooperate. He recognizes that the struggles of establishing and maintaining a business are priceless experiences. He also understands how cities can positively or negatively affect businesses through services, fees, permitting, and inspection processes.
