Now retired after a lengthy career in facility development and real estate planning – both as a private consultant and for large organizations – John brings an impressive skill set that includes strategic planning, facility planning and management, and risk management. During a working career that has spanned some 40 years, he has made numerous presentations locally, nationally and internationally on developing business cases to support new capital projects.

Noteworthy accomplishments include management of facilities and real estate portfolios for large corporations, developing and delivering workshops on Strategic Planning and Financial Modeling, and publications on environmental planning subjects.

John’s credentials include a Master of Environmental Design degree, with more than 20 years as a Certified Facility Manager.

In a volunteer capacity, John has experience as a Board member with the International Facility Management Association and the Parkview Community League. The Edmonton Food Bank and Terra are two Edmonton non-profits that have benefited from John’s pro bono facility and planning expertise. As a volunteer consultant, he is committed to assisting organizations in ways they might not otherwise be able to afford.
