John played a principal role in formulating and drafting one of the most comprehensive transportation bills passed in the state of Texas.

In working on H.B. 3588, John worked with virtually every member of the Legislature interested in transportation, the Governor’s office and all levels of the Texas Department of Transportation. John’s work on H.B. 3588 put him in an extraordinarily unique position of understanding the types of and means by which transportation projects will be built in Texas for decades.

Executive - Caterpillar Inc. (11 years)

Prior to returning to Texas, John served as an executive for the world’s largest manufacturer of earth-moving equipment and industrial engines.

He worked on virtually every aspect of Caterpillar’s business and saw success in negotiating large transactions, increasing market share and advising Caterpillar dealers on all aspects of their business operations.

Attorney - Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld (Washington D.C.)

John began his career working in the corporate and securities group of one of the nation’s preeminent law firms.
