PROJECT DIRECTOR

John graduated from Villanova University in December 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in Finance and Accounting. Prior to graduation, he held various positions/internships within the finance and real estate industries, but ultimately accepted his first full-time position with Wells Fargo's Commercial Real Estate lending division as a financial analyst in January 2015. John remained with Wells through September 2020, where he eventually obtained the title 'Relationship Manager' and a graduate diploma from the bank's renowned Credit Management Program [CMP] (pka Credit Management Training Program [CMTP]). 

John accepted a position with West Real Estate as a Staff Developer in October 2020. He has added valued expertise in large-scale industrial development analysis, although he has amassed a wealth of wholistic real estate development knowledge during his time with Wells Fargo. John has also expressed an interest in supply chain and logistical/3PL solutions in which he hopes to learn and leverage knowledge with consulting partners.
