I am originally from a small town in southeast Iowa and have been in the KC area for 13 ½ years. My wife, Becky, and I have 2 boys, Gabe and Nolan.

The KC Games for Good is sort of like a corporate challenge for nonprofits. My role is to create the games that the teams compete in.
The best and worst purchase I ever made was: Worst purchase was a cheap charcoal grill. I used it twice and will never use it again. Best purchase was my Cole Haan dress shoes. I could run a marathon in these shoes.
If I could have a superpower, I’d choose: My favorite superhero is Superman so I have to go with the ability to fly.
One thing I’ve done that I’m most proud of is: I made it through my 30s. Transitioning my business to a new firm, my wife starting a new career as an attorney, the birth of my boys, my youngest having brain surgery at seven months old, moving to a new neighborhood and school district. A client told me once, “No one makes it through their 30s without challenges.” She was spot on.

I am originally from Indonesia, but also a long time resident of Lenexa, KS. I attended the University of Kansas where I received a Bachelor degree in Allied Health and Nursing and spent most of my young adult life in a hospital setting as a caregiver. It was here that I developed a deeply rooted understanding of the stresses and joys as a caregiver. Most caregivers fail to care for themselves first, which motivated me to study financial planning. Ultimately, this led to a decision to change careers. In 2007, I completed the Certificate in Financial Planning Program from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Craig, and our dog, Ozzie.
The last book I read was: Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck. This book transformed my life and gave me the courage to be me in a totally different environment than my upbringing.
My sing along really loud in the car song is: Sober Up by AJR, a group from NYC. Its urban sound resonates with my childhood memory of growing up in the busy city of Surabaya.
When I retire, you will find me: Doing more volunteer work as Johnson County Master Gardener, which I started doing in my 30’s with the thought, “it requires so much knowledge, I’d better start when I still have all my faculties intact.” My favorite activity was giving gardening classes and having conversations with area gardeners on how to improve our air, water and soil quality via gardening and composting.
You’d be surprised that I: Am an introvert.
A charitable cause I care most about is: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a well run non-profit led by Neal Barnard, MD, who has the ability to execute my dreams of healthcare in America with global influences. I consider him the model of success.

I grew up in Spring Hill, Kansas and graduated college from Emporia State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in communication. I am married and live in Olathe, Kansas. I’m a mother of three boys (and two dogs) who I absolutely adore, and they keep me busy.
The last book I read was: Either Sisters Like Us by Susan Mallery or All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner.
My sing along really loud in the car song is: Christmas music (with my son).
When not working, I’m happiest doing: Being at home with my boys and dogs, making handmade cards, wreaths, and no-sew blankets, and reading.
When I retire, you will find me: Hopefully, relaxing and finally doing a bit of traveling.
My clients would describe me in three words as: Kind, friendly, and helpful.
Charitable causes I care most about are: Pet rescues and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
If I could have a superpower, I’d choose: Two of them, healing and a mimic power to mimic others powers and skills.
One thing I’ve done that I’m most proud of is: My children because they bring so much to my life.
A life hack I’m surprised most people don’t know is: Chapstick heals papercuts and stops the pain. Use foam spray window cleaner to clean car and home upholstery and carpet.

My undergrad degree is from the University of Nebraska at Omaha Business Journalism. My graduate degree is from Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, Masters of Business Administration. To demonstrate to my commitment to always serving my clients best interest, I became credentialed as an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®).
The last book I read was: Mastering the Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your Side.
When not working, I’m happiest doing: Cycling, hiking or ice skating with family and friends.
When I retire, you will find me: Most likely not retired, but working fewer hours each week. I enjoy working with people too much to walk away entirely. Besides, those clients I see who continue to stay engaged and work at something they deem important last longer in life than those who stop finding purpose on a day-to-day basis.
You’d be surprised that I: Love living in downtown Kansas City. An urban lifestyle can actually be less stressful than suburban life once you get the hang of it. Living closer to people and sharing more means my family has less stuff and more fun.
My clients would describe me in three words as: Available, trustworthy, and nerdy.
A charitable cause I care most about is: The Kelley Lynn Lutz Memorial Scholarship Foundation, which provides college scholarships to students who have lost a parent to cancer.
The best and worst purchase I ever made was: My best purchase is my MacBook Air® or iPhone X®. My worst purchase was a truck that turned out to be a major lemon.
If I could have a superpower, I’d choose: My side-hustle superpower is driving a Zamboni® for making great ice for ice skaters, so I humbly admit that I already have a superpower. They call me John the Zamboni-Mon.
One thing I’ve done that I’m most proud of is: Simply being a solid husband for my wife, Katherine, and a dedicated father to Christian. I am a good son to my mother, helping her to age-in-place.
A life hack I’m surprised most people don’t know is: It’s about people. I think most people are awake and realize our purpose is to serve each other with as much authentic joy as possible. For those who don’t know it yet, this is the primary life-hack for finding happiness.
The person who inspires me most is: My wife, Katherine. We make a great team, and she continues to surprise me with the new things she learns and puts to use. She is incredibly humble, and I am so lucky to have her in my life. There is no one I am more comfortable spending time with than her. We can be together in complete silence and manage to have a splendid time. We don’t always have to be planning what’s next. We can be in the here-and-now most of the time. This quality is oh so precious and rare.
My favorite family tradition is: Reading aloud stories or books to each other. Also, watching old movies together.
Someone should make an app for: Ha…finding the nearest toilet when you are away from home and nature urgently calls. With the “Internet of Things” and G5 wireless on the way, we should even have an app that tells us stall-seat availability <wink>
