A third-generation plantation manager, John is also a land owner himself. Heyward Vann, John's grandfather, was a renowned estate attorney and provided an appreciation for the impact of accounting and estate law on a property's asset value. Growing up on the land gave John a deep understanding of classic land management practices, wildlife ecology and modern techniques.

​

Today, John manages thousands of acres under his direct advisement with many additional clients served every year through his company.

​

John's commitment to conservation practices is matched by his belief in giving back.
