About the speaker......
John’s story is ultimately a story of the power of Jesus Christ to redeem, restore, and transform a life. Through seasons of struggle, failure, and unexpected turns, God has continued to reveal His grace, faithfulness, and purpose in ways John could never have orchestrated on his own. What once seemed like disconnected pieces of his life have become part of a greater story of redemption and calling.

Today, John serves with CBMC (Christian Business Men’s Connection), where he has the privilege of connecting with business leaders and encouraging them to see how their faith in Christ can shape their lives, leadership, and influence. His professional background spans more than 15 years in philanthropy, stewardship, and legacy planning, but he has come to recognize that his greatest purpose is not defined by his professional accomplishments. It is found in what Christ has done in him and continues to do through him.

As a husband and father of two, John is learning that following Jesus is not about having everything figured out, but about surrendering to Him, trusting His grace, and allowing Him to work through both our strengths and our weaknesses. His testimony is a reminder that no failure is beyond God’s redemption, no season is wasted in His hands, and no life is beyond the reach of His transforming power.

John is grateful for the opportunity to share his story—not as a picture of personal achievement, but as a testimony to the goodness of God and the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
