The wise decision to opt for an engineering degree has resulted in a successful 28-year career with extended stops at regional powerhouses EMC and Hussy Gay Bell. John then worked as an independent business for nearly a decade.
John met Yash Desai in 2020, working on a shopping center project in Pooler, Georgia. Yash was impressed at how smoothly the project went, from the permitting to the construction and all the details. For the next two years, as Stature grew, Yash tried to persuade him to come on board as the staff engineer. After much cajoling, John finally joined the team in January 2023.
“I wish I had done it two years earlier. These are great people to work with.”
He sees his role as more problem-solving than drawing plans. Finding the best possible use of the land, making the buildings and infrastructure fit optimally, and seeing it work and come to life is what he finds most satisfying.
“We all share Yash’s passion.”
In his spare time, John plays guitar in his church and enjoys watching almost any sport.
