John grew up in Utah and worked in the international telecommunications industry in

Europe and Asia before returning home to Utah where he has provided leadership for a

number of government and non-profit boards and committees. He views the dominant

political parties as an unacceptable limit on the right of Utah citizens to participate fully

in their State and Federal governments and he has joined People 4 Utah to advocate for

a Utah that prioritizes people's needs ahead of the political parties that no longer

represent them.
