After exiting Corporate America, John started a number of businesses. This led him to franchising, and ultimately, development at IMAGE Studios. John has been very successful in helping people find great opportunities in business ownership through franchising. A big reason for this is that he seeks out brands that have made large investments in talent and infrastructure in order to grow the brand and support the franchisees. This is why John joined IMAGE Studios® in 2021. What originally impressed John the most about IMAGE was the training and onboarding process- their franchisee’s entire roadmap to success is laid out in front of them.

In 2021, IMAGE Ranked #160 in the top 500 franchises by Entrepreneur Magazine, ranked Top 100 Franchises by Franchise Dictionary, and made the 2021 Franchise Registry. John and his wife Nicole live in Denver, CO with their two children. They enjoy spending time outdoors in nature, especially near water. They are avid concert goers and frequent Red Rocks!
