An example of laying groundwork for future success was John’s time as a volunteer student library assistant at CHS in the pre-internet years, where he organized research materials in a way that made it much easier for students to find the answers they needed for their work. At UMass-Lowell his BS in Industrial Management led to his being certified as a Massachusetts Public Purchasing Official. John was in the top 20% of his class and in the Business Honor Society in the field of finance at Suffolk University’s MBA program. John’s career stops in management of large groups of employees, stock, and funds laid more groundwork. As Cemetery Superintendent, he made great strides in preservation, care, and improved financing of the cemeteries. John now serves the Town of Chelmsford as the fully certified Finance Director and Treasurer, and takes the lead in making sure that the Town frequently has a AA+ bond rating.
