John has been an Inclusion Specialist at Skill and Ability Education since October 2024. He attended Eastern Michigan University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in Social Work. After college, John worked at a non-profit organization that manages affordable housing and provides supportive long-term client services in his role as a Support Coordinator, then Intensive Case Manager for five years before joining Skill and Ability Education.

John enjoys spending quality time with friends, catching up with his on-again, off-again DIY weekend home and garden projects, hiking or long walks, and is a budding rugby fan.

"I regard an Inclusive Specialist as being integral with helping clients accomplish their life and employment goals, whether analyzing practical, successful methods for work tasks, direct assistance with activities of daily living, providing constructive feedback while emphasizing strengths, advocacy for the client, or just being an engaged listener to be heard and acknowledged."
