Bio
John is a principal and co-founder with Versa Real Estate Services. Immediately prior to founding Versa Real Estate Services, he was a Managing Director with Bradford Allen.
In John’s tenure in the industry, he has completed hundreds of transactions of various sizes and asset classes. John has demonstrated commitment to taking a versatile and client-centered approach throughout his experiences in the industry.
Dedicated to well-rounded professional development, John has earned his Certified Commercial Investment Member designation and is the 2020 President of the CCIM Illinois chapter.
In 2006, John took the advice of a mentor and began his career in commercial real estate.
This fortunate (or rather unfortunate) timing gave him the benefit of experiencing the end of the “funny money” days and the chance to navigate the Great Recession. He learned that commercial real estate is a highly cyclical industry, and there are great opportunities for those who know how to find them.
Beginning his career during such a tumultuous time in the market cycle allowed him to evaluate his initial career goals and motivations. These evaluations were naturally amplified after getting married and having two boys. Now he see the value in taking a longer-term approach to his business, and he understands the importance of balancing family and work as his two highest priorities.
When not in the office, John is spending time with his family, biking, and training in the martial arts.
