John grew up in River Forest, the oldest of three siblings, and attended Fenwick High School. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from John Carroll University, in Cleveland. While in college, he spent a year studying in Rome and considers living there (and taking trains throughout Europe) an exceptional time in his life.
After college, John began working at the Board of Trade and stayed there for 20+ years as a commodity trader. More recently, he became an investor and board member for an Auto Insurance Company in Florida.
John and his wife, Maureen, live in River Forest with their triplets: Kate, Maddy, and Johnny. Their family is active at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in River Forest, and in his spare time, he tries to golf as much as he can, as well as volunteer with his children’s sports teams.
