John married Amy in 1999 and helped raise 4 boys and a girl in Boonsboro, MD, where they currently live today.

Words I Live By
Work hard, believe in yourself, don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty, and there is nothing you can’t accomplish.
You Should Know…
I was the captain of my golf team, President of the National Honor Society and voted most Theatrical after playing Riff in West Side Story at FDR High School in Hyde Park, NY. I started promoting baseball card conventions to self-fund my college expenses. I attended my first MLB game at Yankee Stadium in 1977, and have been a life long Yankee fan since.
My Literary Love
I love to read action novels by Tom Clancy and John Grisham. I enjoy finance books to further my knowledge and help benefit my clients, and I occasionally like to revisit classic literature.
The Best Getaway
With my family anywhere close to nature, but especially on the water in a kayak, canoe, or our boat. Can’t forget my 5 best friends (yellow labs), Clara Bell, Clayton, Maggie, Brandy and Lily.
My OneSeven Reason
To continue to help my clients realize their financial goals and to take the worry out of investing so my clients can spend time living life and realizing their dreams.
