John is a Virginia native originally from Richmond, but he eventually made it to the northern Shenandoah Valley in 2010. Professionally, he is an industrial electrical engineer who studied at Virginia Tech and now works locally. Most importantly, he is father to one cute son in elementary school. He sang in multiple choirs through high school before taking a 20 year hiatus. He joined Viva in 2022, reigniting his love of choral music. John also enjoys landscaping and gardening, home renovations, DIY projects, catching local live music, camping, and of course all sorts of shenanigans with his son.
