Personal
Growing up in a large family, John appreciates the values of working hard and providing the best life possible for your family. John and his wife Julie, an attorney, are both from Chicago and plan to establish deep roots there. Together they have a young daughter and spend much of their free time with family.
When not enjoying family time, John and his family give back to the community through a number of impactful charities. Graduating from the University of Notre Dame in 2005, John appreciates the impact of a quality education, and devotes time to make sure others in the community have those same academic opportunities. He is currently on the Junior Board of Chicago Jesuit Academy, a scholarship-only elementary school in the Austin neighborhood, and he volunteers with the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund. Both aim at placing high-performing children from disadvantaged neighborhoods in top Chicago high schools.
John is a big time Chicago sports fan, especially of the Chicago Cubs, where you can find him in Section 420. He is an avid world traveler, stamping his passport with visits to 18 countries, most recently Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Austria.
