John has served on the NCBA Strategic Planning & Emerging Trends Committee and the NCBF Development Committee, and he currently chairs the Pro Bono Committee of the NCBA Estate Planning & Fiduciary Law Section.

A North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialist in Estate Planning and Probate Law, John has practiced in trusts and estates, tax, and ERISA for over twenty years.
