About John

I am proud to be a part of Mid Atlantic Roofing Systems Inc., a leading home improvement company dedicated to providing top-quality roofing and exterior solutions. As the owner, I have spent over 15 years in the roofing industry, and my passion for construction comes from my family—both my grandfathers and father were builders. Growing up around the trade instilled in me a deep appreciation for hard work, craftsmanship, and integrity.

I started this company because I wanted to offer more than just roofs. While roofing is our main focus, we also specialize in gutters, windows, doors, and other home improvement needs. My team and I are committed to delivering top-quality work with an emphasis on safety, precision, and transparency. Every project, big or small, is approached with the same dedication to excellence, ensuring that our customers receive the best possible services and results.

Philosophy

My philosophy and approach to work are centered on delivering excellence with a positive attitude and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. I believe that being happy and maintaining optimism are essential for fostering a productive and motivating work environment. Every challenge presents an opportunity, and I approach problem-solving with creativity, resilience, and passion, ensuring that obstacles are met with innovative solutions rather than roadblocks.

At the core of my work ethic is integrity—I value honesty, transparency, and trustworthiness in every interaction. Whether working with clients, team members, or business associates, I strive to build strong relationships through effective communication, empathy, and active listening.

I embrace risk-taking as a means of growth and progress, pushing boundaries and stepping outside of comfort zones to achieve success. With a clear vision, I lead by example, guiding and delegating tasks to empower others while fostering collaboration and efficiency. I am persistent and tenacious, never backing down from challenges but rather using them as stepping stones toward success.

Networking is a vital component of my approach, as I believe that strong connections lead to endless opportunities. By surrounding myself with like-minded individuals and industry professionals, I stay informed, inspired, and ready to adapt to changing trends.

Ultimately, my philosophy is about being discerning and visionary, making strategic decisions that drive long-term success while maintaining a relentless dedication to improvement and excellence.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I have a deep passion for sailing, skiing, golfing, and swimming—activities that challenge me both physically and mentally while providing a sense of adventure and relaxation. Whether it’s navigating the open waters, hitting the slopes, perfecting my swing on the golf course, or diving into the pool, I find joy in staying active and embracing the outdoors.

I also love watching movies with my dog Clips, appreciating both the artistry and storytelling that films bring to life. It’s a great way to unwind, spark creativity, and draw inspiration from different perspectives.

These hobbies not only keep me balanced but also reflect my determination, adaptability, and strategic thinking, traits that I bring into both my personal and professional life.
