John started in the electrical trade at the age of 27 as an apprentice. He did 4 years of apprenticeship training through Associated Builders & Contractors. In 1996, John obtained his Master’s license with a score of 96. He owned his own company for 10 years. After shutting the company down in 2009, John worked with the Corp of Engineers for 6 years, designing medical facilities for military bases during the time that the Iran / Iraq war was deescalating. John's first tour with Piper Electric was in 2014 where he worked as a Senior PM and Pre-Construction Manager.

To date, it is still the tallest building along the gulf coast of Florida. John rejoined Piper in September 2023 as Director of Operations and has since moved into the President position in March 2024.
