John was born and raised in Greater St. Louis. He grew up in the church but was not born again until he was 20. After conversion, God gave him a love for Himself and His Word, and John became involved in local church ministry. John moved to Louisville, KY to attend Southern Seminary part-time, but after starting a family, he put seminary training on hold so that he could focus on being a faithful husband, father, church member, and employee.

John works full-time as an IT engineer on James Island. He also leads the music ministry at Holy City. John is honored to serve the body as a deacon and happy to help the pastoral team focus on their primary responsibilities.

John is married to Anna and they have two children.
