About John
Greetings and welcome to my home page. It is not easy for me to write all about me as it feels so vain, however, you don't know me and if you will allow me to assist you. You deserve to know a little about me.
I grew up in western Massachusetts in a small town called Lee and as a young man of 13 i was encouraged by my dad to start a Lawn Mowing business. By the time i was 16 I had 53 customers from word of mouth. I was taught, responsibility, respect, diligence and honoring the customer at a young age. At 18 I joined the USAF and was trained in Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, and cryogenics.
I served in the United States Air Force from 1985 to 1989. There I worked in Civil Engineering. I was then stationed in Delaware in 1986, serving at Dover Air Force Base. During and assignment in Saudi Arabia, I met my future wife, Marilou, who was there on a working visa from the Philippines. We married in 1987, and decided to stay in Delaware. After receiving and Honorable discharge from the military, I spent a few years doing service work for Heating and Air-Conditioning. In March of 1992, I started my own home building business, Berkshire Home Builders, Inc., building custom homes. For 15 years, Berkshire Home Builders, Inc. made a reputation of building some of the finest homes in the Dover and surrounding areas.
