Growing up in the shadow of an experienced entrepreneur, John witnessed firsthand the dedication and effort it took to successfully compete in real estate and development. In 2005, John moved from Long Island to Coxsackie and began working in the family business of construction and development. In 2009, the company shifted from an expansive 600-acre, fractional ownership project no longer suitable for the economy and purchased its first 4-unit apartment building in Catskill. Quickly applying similar layout methods and finishes implemented in developing east end homes on Long Island, coupled with fortuitous timing of downstate migration north, a new trajectory took off rapidly and came together as JMS Construction. The company’s rapid success in renovation, construction supervision and property management was attained by continued streamlining of processes along with strategic acquisitions. John served as the company’s Director of Operations and his responsibilities included logistics, inventory management, customer service, investor relations, construction supervision, property management, accounting, leasing and human resources on over 100 apartments.

Utilizing his experience and skills from JMS Construction, John was one of three partners that founded ProVest Management in 2013, focusing on managing commercial real estate development projects along the eastern seaboard beginning in Fort Valley, Georgia. Spearheading a team with locations in San Francisco, Dallas, India and NY, John was responsible for coordinating the property management of over 13 retail shopping centers with close to 1,000,000 sq ft of space. Notable centers managed include Springdale Plaza, Camden, South Carolina; North Towne Commons, Toledo, Ohio; Fort Valley Shopping Center, Fort Valley, Georg
