With over 20 years experience in the field of business management, advertising, marketing and public relations, John brings the skill level needed to meet the many challenges found in today’s market. John draws from this background to make sound decisions to ensure the continued growth of Sampler Publications. The question, “how will this decision benefit our clients?” is always in the forefront.

John strongly believes the representation of Sampler Publications is a direct reflection of his own values. That is why “the customer must always come first” is not just a catch phrase or a business strategy, but a core part of this company’s make up. Community involvement is one of the more rewarding duties as publisher. John gives support to many local charities and non-profits. Some include MDA, American Diabetes Association, Mayor’s Task Force, Local First Lexington and LexArts.

Sampler Publications was founded in 1992 with the launch of Sampler Magazine. John launched this publication shortly after graduating from Xavier University with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Marketing. The creation of Sampler Magazine was mainly out of necessity due to the tough employment market in the field of advertising.

Most valued in John’s life are family and friends. He spends most of his time with his wife, Julie, and two daughters, Sarah and Emily. He also values time playing softball, sailing and going to UK and Lexington Legends games.
