• understand how to read and analyze common financial statements, and
• recognize the importance of financial literacy.

With more than 35 years of experience as an entrepreneur, business owner and nonprofit leader, John has a keen understanding of the needs of both businesses and the nonprofit sector.  A former Peace Corps volunteer, Managing Director of the Land Trust of Napa County, and CEO of international financial consulting firm Motto Kryla & Fisher, John has the ability to work with a diverse group of individuals while gaining consensus and delivering results.
