John as a Business Professional:

According to John, his top three professional strengths are humility and self-awareness, reliability, and work ethic; he prides himself in consistently being a top performer in any sales team he’s been on. He is looking forward to using these qualities to extend CleanSlate’s services to an even broader customer base. 

John’s Personal Life:

When John isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his wife Michelle, son Brandon (25), and daughter Lindsey (21). He is also an avid fisherman and golfer, and loyal to the Colts, Pacers, Reds, and Purdue. A fascinating fact about John is that in 1983 he served as the team captain for his team in the Future Farmers of America Crop State Championship – their team took first place and John took second in his individual score! Another random talent of John’s? He can remember hundreds of friends’, colleagues’, and customers’ phone numbers even after the first time hearing them.
