In the years since, John has continued to work with the Ft. Belknap community on fundraising and commuity development efforts. Beginning in 1997, John organized and led a 3-year fundraing project to build a community center for the people of Lodge Pole, Montana, a center that continues to be actively used, on a daily basis, by the Lodge Pole Native American community.

Working with his clients in the professional liability insurance industry, John founded and co-chairs two annual charity fundraisers, The St. Thomas Charity Classic and the Statesman Dinner, raising money for different charitable causes each year.
John is very excited and enthused about the potential for Grateful Nation to make a real difference in the lives of military families, both as a show of support to our nation’s soldiers and as a way of encouraging the leaders of tomorrow to achieve their potential through college education.
