About John
I'm proud to lead Mid Atlantic Roofing Systems Inc., a home improvement company dedicated to providing top-quality roofing and exterior solutions. As the owner, I've spent over 15 years in the roofing industry, and my passion for construction comes from my family — both my grandfathers and my father were builders. Growing up around the trade instilled in me a deep appreciation for hard work, craftsmanship, and integrity.
I started this company because I wanted to offer more than just roofs. While roofing is our main focus, we also specialize in gutters, windows, doors, and other home improvement needs. My team and I are committed to delivering top-quality work with an emphasis on safety, precision, and transparency. Every project, big or small, is approached with the same dedication to excellence.
Background
I graduated from Phelps Academy in Malvern, PA, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, SC.
Achievements
One of our most notable achievements is being recognized as a top-performing roofing company in North Carolina with Owens Corning for many years running. That distinction reflects our dedication to excellence, superior craftsmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction — and it's a testament to the hard work and expertise of my team, as well as the trust and support of our valued customers.
My philosophy
My philosophy is centered on delivering excellence with a positive attitude and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Every challenge presents an opportunity, and I approach problem-solving with creativity, resilience, and passion. At the core of my work ethic is integrity — I value honesty, transparency, and trustworthiness in every interaction. Whether working with clients, team members, or business associates, I strive to build strong relationships through effective communication, empathy, and active listening.
With a clear vision, I lead by example, guiding and delegating tasks to empower others while fostering collaboration and efficiency. I'm persistent and tenacious — never backing down from challenges but rather using them as stepping stones toward success.
What we do
We specialize in chimney caps, gutters, windows, doors, and full roofing systems for residential customers, plus extensive expertise in commercial flat roofs — EPDM, TPO, PVC, metal roofs, and roof coatings. Whether it's a small residential project or a large-scale commercial roofing system, we focus on durable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions tailored to each client's needs.
Community involvement
Giving back is a core part of my values. I actively support Crossnore Children's Home, Toys for Tots, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, AARF (Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation), and the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project for U.S. veterans. These organizations hold a special place in my heart, and I'm committed to making a positive impact through both professional and personal efforts.
Outside of work
I have a deep passion for sailing, skiing, golfing, and swimming — activities that challenge me both physically and mentally while providing a sense of adventure and relaxation. I also love watching movies with my dog Clips. These hobbies keep me balanced and reflect the determination, adaptability, and strategic thinking I bring into both personal and professional life.
