John arrived at Montclair State in the fall of 1984, actually stepping into the position after the fall season.

John feels his educational experience at Ursinus, West Chester, and East Stroudsburg, along with his previous positions at Delaware Valley College and Amherst prepared him well for the role of Athletic Trainer. He has tried to incorporate many of the ideas he was exposed to by his mentors and live up to their ideals of athletic training.

Along with his role of Head Athletic Trainer at Montclair, John has been very involved professionally. He is the past NATA District II Secretary and has previous served as the Secretary/ Treasurer of the Eastern Athletic Trainer' Association. He has served as the host and as a Site Administrator for the NATABOC Certification Exam almost yearly. He has also worked with the United States Association of Blind Athletes.Interestingly, MSU displayed its faith in John's administrative and Health Care experience by naming him Interrum Director of Montclair's Center for Health and Wellness during 1997.
