More From John:
I am a graduate of the University of Akron with a degree in Business and Sales & Marketing. I retired in 2018 after almost 42 years of service with Albrecht Grocery (Acme) as a Store Director. Currently I am the Mayor of the City of Stow. Before accepting the role of Mayor, I was on Stow City Council for 11 years and the Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education for six years.
I am very excited to be the Mayor of such an outstanding community. I look forward to building an even stronger community, with enhanced collaboration with our school system, our businesses and our civic organizations. I intend to strive for greater collaboration with our surrounding communities as well.
I, and my administration are dedicated to making sure that every individual, including senior citizens, children and people with disabilities, is a vital member of our community and has opportunities for an improved quality of life.
