John joined the Northwest ADA Center after relocating to Seattle from Orlando, Florida, where he primarily practiced corporate law and family mediation for nearly fifteen years. John helped clients navigate federal and state laws to overcome their conflicts and obstacles so that parties could reach amicable solutions to move forward in life with renewed purpose. During his time in Orlando, John was an active volunteer with various organizations including the Citizen’s Dispute and Family Law Mediation Program, the Florida Bar Grievance Mediation & Fee Arbitration Program, the Middle District of Florida Bankruptcy Pro Se Clinic, and Cornerstone Hospice.
John continues his love of indoor and outdoor team sports by connecting with Seattle’s LGBTQIA sports community where he’s enjoying cornhole, dodgeball, kickball, volleyball, bowling, and softball in the various queer club organizations in the city. Being a Florida native, he’s also excited to explore the winter sports and the beautiful hiking opportunities in the Pacific Northwest.
John attended Florida State University College of Law where he earned his Juris Doctorate. John also attended graduate school at the University of Houston and Central Michigan University and attended Purdue University for his undergraduate work.
