Born in Ft. Lauderdale, John has been practicing law in South Florida for over 35 years. After graduating from the University of Florida as an accounting major, John earned his CPA certification. Since being admitted to The Florida Bar in 1985, he has devoted his practice to estate planning and administration as well as business and tax planning. Actively involved with numerous private foundations, he is a member of the Advisory Council of Mote Marine and the South Florida Advisory Council for the University of Florida Foundation.
