He started his career in the maritime industry as an engineering officer for Military Sealift Command, a civilian transportation company that serves the US Military.

John worked for several prominent bulge bracket banks, raising over $2 billion in equity and debt capital for rail, trucking, and maritime industries as he transitioned to investment banking.
John established Source Realty Capital in 2019, intending to aid real estate investors in obtaining the required funding to finalize their transactions. He identified a gap in the market after the Great Recession, as traditional banks could not provide adequate support. John recognized an opportunity to connect real estate investors with institutional money, bridging the gap between the two. Experienced investors found securing funding for their projects challenging, leading them to approach hard money lenders. As the demand for hard cash grew, institutional investors became more interested. Source Realty Capital emerged as the solution to connect real estate investors with institutional funding.
Source Realty Capital has achieved impressive growth under John’s leadership, transitioning from a start-up to generating over $100 million annually in originations. The company specializes in offering capital for 1-4 family and small balance multi-family properties, establishing a unique position in the market and delivering exceptional service to seasoned real estate investors.
John has an undergraduate degree in engineering from the United States Merchant Marine Academy and an MBA in finance from Columbia Business School. Additionally, he served as an Officer in the US Naval Reserve and received an honorable discharge in 2011.
