After graduation from Santa Clara University he built a storied career in the building industry throughout California as president of Morrison Homes. He and his wife Carol raised their family in Walnut Creek, California. In 1996, John was inducted into the California Builder’s Hall of Fame, a prestigious and honorable award for his excellence in leadership and professionalism. He had the joy of introducing his young family to Sun Valley, Idaho, and all its natural wonders. Carol in turn introduced the family to her beloved islands of Hawaii.
