About Me

Hi my name's John, but a lot of people call me J.R. I was born in Canton, and grew up in Massillon, Ohio. I studied architecture at Kent State University, and graduated in 2000.
I couldn't find a job in the Massillon/Canton area, so I started looking farther away. That led me to Youngstown.

The "feel" of Youngstown seems to have changed during the time that I've been here. It seems like there are a lot of big changes still on the horizon, and I want to be a part of them, and help as much as I can.
As an architect, I believe it's my duty to try to make my community a better place.

Normally, I'm pretty laid back, though.
I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!

My grandpa John. He will be 81 this year. He has had 4 or 5 open heart surgeries, cancer, glaucoma, and probably other illnesses that I can't think of right now. Not only doesn't he complain, but he's already waiting to go back to work after his latest heart surgery.
