He grew up and still resides in Rockland County, New York, a suburb of New York City. He came from a hardworking middle-class family. John lost both his parents to natural causes when he was a young man. John established himself as an ambitious workaholic at a very young age. While other teenagers were involved in social or school activities, John was out working and learning a trade. He learned the skills of a carpenter and also pursued his dream of becoming a police officer. Always maintaining his ambition, he juggled multiple jobs. He often worked for continuous stretches of twenty-four to thirty-six hours without sleep or even a break. It was routine for him to log one hundred and twenty hours of “work time” in a week running between jobs. His determination, persistence, ethics, and honesty allowed him to establish a very successful construction company specializing in high-end custom homes and land development. John was never handed anything. He proved that honest hard work and the willingness to take a little legitimate risk can bring great reward. I know how proud his parents would be of him if they were still with us.
John did not ever expect the thriving relationship of corruption, greed, and politics to ever affect him. His high standard of moral living and business ethic did not permit these elements from being a factor in his success or existence. He never knew that the ugly side of politics, which are still being practiced today, would lead to his complete and total destruction and financial ruin.view less
