John's 32 years of experience has spanned all phases of the car wash industry. His first venture was in 1979 when he purchased a full service carwash with lube, oil, gas and truck rental in Southern California, and later a self serve wash.

Several years later he sold those washes and entered the field of car wash equipment sales and repair. Upon his move from the west coast to Georgia, he remodeled a closed wash and turned it into one of the highest grossing washes on the south side of Atlanta. Subsequently, he built two car washes from the ground up and owned and operated additional full service and self serve car washes in Georgia.

He has served on the Boards of the California Car Wash Association (now the Western C/W Assoc.) as well as the Southeastern Car Wash Assoc. Since joining Car Wash Brokers in 2006 his comprehensive knowledge, expertise and reputation in the car wash industry has proved invaluable with both buyers and sellers.
