Executive Director

John was born and raised in Western North Carolina.  As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, his passion for increasing access to quality Mental Health services fuels the vision for BlueRock Behavioral Health.

After graduating from Appalachian State University with a BA in Advertising, John was the head of a family sign and advertising business for nearly a decade. It was during the economic downturn of 2008 when John felt the call to “do more” with his life and earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling from Western Seminary in Sacramento, CA.

John’s career in behavioral health began at a small treatment facility in Davis, CA called Progress Ranch, where he served first in a maintenance role and eventually as a residential counselor. Over the past 15 years, John has held a variety of roles in the Residential field including, therapist, program director, operations director, clinical director and executive director. John frequently reminds residential staff of the tremendous growth opportunities available in Residential Services and likes to say, “If I can do it, anyone can!”

In his spare time, John enjoys spending time with his wife and children experiencing the WNC outdoors, building and refinishing furniture and biking on the road or trail.
