He is a rising STAR!!!
Short Bio
In January 2010, the Starledger billed him as a "New Class of Moneymakers". His business is sneakers. He turned a hobby sneakerhead, into a business. He is a dean's list student, and has been the president of student council for 3 years at Babson College. In addition to all of this -- John interned for Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown
He is success driven and an organizer (wonder where he got that skill from). He is a GIVER not a grabber! John mentors inner-city high school youth on entrepeneural and college opportunities. He loves to travel and has visited China and Europe with determined intent to visit Africa and other 3rd world countries in short order.
