Regionally, John focuses on private sector and municipal transportation projects, multimodal transportation projects, and preparation and/or review of the transportation elements of land development applications for uses such as industrial, hospitals, educational facilities, commercial/retail users, residential/office complexes, and infill redevelopment projects. He also champions the Mid-Atlantic Region’s business development efforts in the private sector.  John’s contributions to the region earned him the Lehigh Valley Business 40 Under 40 recognition in 2015.
