He graduated with a general studies degree in May 2022 and soon made the journey to Ithaca, NY to pursue his girlfriend, Hannah. John and Hannah got married in the San Juan mountains of Colorado on June 24th 2023, and John now serves as Worship Director at CLC, teaches piano lessons, and works in a grocery store. He is passionate about authentic community and worship that ministers to the heart of The Lord.
