Growing up in a household of civil servants, talking politics was as much a part of John's childhood as Little League. Not until his first internship in Washington during college did he realize he could pursue a career helping to shape public policy.

John serves as Special Advisor to the Climate and Energy Program, National Security Program, and the Communications team at Third Way. Before joining Third Way, John covered financial services issues as an Associate at McBee Strategic Consulting and interned in the office of Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and the U.S. Treasury Department.

John graduated from the University of Southern California and is currently pursuing an MBA at Georgetown University. A Philadelphia area native, he eagerly awaits the (seemingly distant) day when the Phillies restore order to the baseball world and assume their position atop the standings.
