John and his family
Service to Country
Bringing over three decades of diverse experience in professional business management, heartfelt community advocacy, and distinguished naval service, I am an optimistic realist committed to collaborating, communicating, and coordinating to make our community better.
My journey includes earning a master's degree (MBA) in Acquisition and Contract Management from the Naval Postgraduate School.
I am dedicated to enhancing educational programs (and accountability for the BOE and DOE), fostering improved economic opportunities, and ensuring a safer, more protected environment. As an optimistic realist, I offer real solutions and a positive outlook on life's challenges. My trademarked philosophy is Accept. Adapt. Achieve! ®
Amidst a distinguished military career that culminated in my retirement as a Commander in 2018, my commitment to community service continues to grow. Since 2015, I have served on the Ewa Neighborhood Board, advocating for community and educational initiatives as the Education Committee Chairperson and periodically as the Vice Chairperson. I currently serve as the Chairperson of the Board.
My wife and I proudly call Ewa Beach home, where our children have thrived within the public school system.
With our children starting at Ewa Beach Elementary School and graduating from James Campbell High School, we are deeply invested in the vibrant tapestry of the Ewa/Kapolei area, and we are firmly committed to its continued growth and future prosperity.
