John comes to us from the Housing Authority of Joliet where he served as the Chief of Staff and Chief of Development and Operations for the past 8 years. John’s career started with the Housing Authority of Joliet out of college, but he later found himself back in his hometown of Chicago for nearly 14 years where he climbed the career ladder and gained a wealth of knowledge while managing over 200 buildings at the University of Chicago, working his way up to the director of project management. As his passion began to outweigh his drive to further his career, John found his way back to Joliet where he applied his skills and knowledge to continue the work of affordable housing and helping those in need.
John is motivated to bring that passion to CHP, the Rock Island community, and the Quad City Region. He says, “I want to build on the pillars already here by reimagining what affordable housing looks like, re-writing the perception of public housing, and establishing a longstanding relationship between CHP and the entire community.
