John moved to Springfield, VT in the Summer of 2018 after living in the Boston area. After working in pharmacy retail management for 35 years, he joined the Bibens Ace Springfield team in the fall of 2018 as a sales associate/customer service specialist, learning the hardware business through on the job training style, from from mixing paint, to plumbing and electrical, to driving a forklift. In January of 2023 he was promoted to store Manager.

John grew up in the Burlington/Essex area, and after getting engaged in early 2018, moved from the Boston area back to Vermont, with the goal of living halfway between his children in lower New England and their family in upstate Vermont.  In John’s free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors, doing work on their new home, and day tripping with their two dogs, along with becoming an active part in the Springfield Community.
