John is the founder and Senior Servicing Agent for Georgia Health Coverage.
John attended Ga Tech from 1989 to 1993 and graduated with a B.S. In Industrial Management. He was a member of ATO fraternity, worked at Coca-Cola Headquarters for 3 years, and was on the championship intramural basketball team as a power forward that defeated the football players in a physical championship game in 1991. One of his favorite activities was organizing skiing trips to Breckenridge, Colorado.
During his senior year, he went to work for Nashville based, Southwestern Company, as a door-to-door book salesman in East Los Angeles. John survived that summer going to door to door on foot with a smile and by waving at folks while biking through lower income neighborhoods, learning to speak Spanish and calming the nerves of some of the world’s meanest looking Rottweilers.
After graduation, John went to work for his father as a laboratory equipment manufacturers’ representative for sales and service in Tennessee. His primary accounts were Vanderbilt Medical School, the University of Tennessee Science Departments and hospital laboratories throughout the state.
In 1998, John moved to Atlanta with his new wife, Julie, who was a “Double Dawg” having graduated with an accounting degree in 1991 and a law degree in 1994. At that time, he got a job at Merrill Lynch as a Financial Consultant in Buckhead. Julie worked for Coopers and Lybrand prior to their marriage, and subsequently joined the firm Drew, Eckl, and Farnham LLP law for a few years before later joining a boutique insurance defense firm Austin and Sparks.
In 2001, John became a District Sales Manager with AFLAC, Inc. of Columbus, Georgia. In 2002, he was invited to attend Blue Cross of Georgia Agent Broker Training at the Atlanta office. In 2005 and after much hard work, he earned a berth in the top 10 agents of Georgia.
