A southside native, John spent his formative years growing up in Perry Township and then Nineveh, IN where he was raised with an appreciation for a slower paced way-of-life.

They have felt immediately embraced and connected since their move, and love being a part of such an interconnected community.

He has been impressed with the Town of Bargersville’s desire to revitalize the downtown district and its dedication to thoughtfully planned growth. John is very excited to be a part of an organization that promotes community and fellowship in the downtown with events like our Farmers Market, summer concerts, and Cars & Coffee. He also loves seeing the true heart and desire to serve others shown by community members that are excited to get involved and volunteer for the various activities and events put on throughout the year by Bargersville Main Street. John reflects that same service to his community, seeing it as a way to give back and to glorify God.
