John moved his family to Colorado in 2006. At this time, due to his experience in conducting exhaustive land searches, he conceived the idea to combine his experience into a service for land brokers, developers, buyers, and sellers. He researched, developed, built, and launched a national multiple listing service specific to land – www.landbrokermls.com. John went on to successfully sell part of www.landbrokermls.com and along with 2 additional partners founded Open Fences Magazine, a national luxury rural real estate publication.

John has hunted all over the West and taken numerous big game trophies with rifle, muzzleloader and bow from Texas to Alaska.
He has numerous web design and development certifications and broad web programming experience and owns and operates his own web development and design companies.
