John
Born outside of Chicago, John moved to Metro Detroit at the age of 3. In his final year at Oakland University he found out about Bizdom U and immediately recognized the program's potential. John believes, now more than ever, it's vital for Southeast Michigan to cultivate its small business growth. "Small business accounts for 50% of all employment nationally. It also gives an area its unique flavor and feel - it's a no brainer." This transformation of the economic and cultural landscape of Detroit stays on the forefront of his life goals.
