John learned his craft personally from the Hunneman and Co. founder, Carlton Hunneman who assigned John to find new locations for all the firms being uprooted by the new Southeast Expressway. John signed so many leases and found so many new locations that he decided to continue the successful exercise on his own with the help of a young, very personable gentleman named Graeme Elliott. The rest was a very lucrative history."
