John earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with graduate work at the University of Southern California. He has been married for 30 years, and is the father of three daughters. In addition, John has 30 years of customer-focused sales, management, and business development experience in large and small Life Science and Biotech companies. He has recruited, trained, motivated, coached, mentored, and managed 2- to 10-person sales teams for small, entrepreneurial businesses, with annual targets ranging from $2 million to $40 million; several of these small companies were acquired by large, multinational corporations during John’s tenure. John’s father and grandfather ran a family contracting business, so he knows first-hand the challenges faced by entrepreneurs and small businesses.
