Founder, CEO

Born deep in the heart of Texas, John grew up loving the outdoors and cereal. His love for the Cowboys was replaced by the Crimson Tide when his family moved from Dallas to Huntsville. John received a B.S. from The University of Alabama, studying finance and economics. His postgrad studies include an M.Div. from Samford University, Beeson Divinity School; he is a Board Certified Pastor Counselor, a licensed and ordained minister, and holds certifications specializing in addiction recovery and mental health.

In 2018, John, Jason Strauss and Amelia Strauss founded Unbound Grace— a guidance and counseling group that focuses on recovery in the context of real life. John is married with two beautiful daughters.
