About John
John believes local government matters, and that when it’s done right, it can meaningfully shape the future of a community. A Utah native and longtime Snyderville Basin resident, John has lived in the Silver Springs neighborhood for more than a decade with his wife and two school-aged children. He experiences Summit County not only through public service, but as a neighbor raising a family, navigating traffic, enjoying open space, and investing in the community long-term. His decision to serve has always been grounded in listening, collaboration, and a commitment to balanced, practical solutions that reflect the values of the people who live here.
