Throughout his career with the Inspectional Services Department, John earned a number of promotions.

• many others.

By joining forces, he was able to accomplish a very important task – serving the residents of Boston. John is a true believer that his purpose in life is to help others.

John has gone above and beyond the requirements of his position by giving back to his community through volunteering and helping people that are at-risk. Although he will be retiring from his position as Assistant Commissioner, John has agreed to work with the sober and transitional community.
