John started work at New Dominion School in 1994 after graduating from Wake Forest University. He worked there for four and a half years before leaving to help found The Discovery School. He worked at The Discovery School for twenty-two years as a Program Director and Director.

“I have known about the work being done at TKS for awhile, and am honored to be on such a quality team. I enjoy the parallel process of helping others overcome life’s hurdles while learning more about myself. I also enjoy working in the human service field and the challenges that come with it.”

John spends most of his free time with his wife Laura, his three children Lily, Luke and Ella, and dogs Charley and Jake. Together they enjoy living close to the James River and spending time on the water. John also stays involved in coaching youth sports and sits on the Board of two local non-profits.
