What if there were never another school shooting? This talk explores how cross-age, peer-to-peer mentoring can change schools for the better. John is an unshakable visionary who sees the world as it could be. He believes that we are the ones who get to shape our world and that if we can see it, we can create it.

Described as a passionate-giant of a man, John has given his professional life to helping spread the vision of the power of strength through vulnerability, others-centered serving, and a deep sense of personal ownership where people can experience a beautiful world in which peer-to-peer equality is evident, individuals are free to achieve and enjoy the prize of a life well lived.
