John Richards was born in Indianapolis Indiana, and raised all over the world. Spending most of his childhood in Europe due to his parents’ military affiliation, John has traveled to more than 17 different countries. In fact one of the highlights of John’s life was touring Berlin 2 months after the wall went tumbling down. Coming from a strong military family, John has always focused his life in helping others and has innate, outstanding leadership skills. In his early college years at Hopkinsville Community College, John helped create a Campus Video productions origination, and lead the Baptist Student Ministry as Campus President and Student Intern.
Working at the community college, John realized the best way to communicate with people, no matter the case or person, was to relate to them on a personal, one on one level. Focusing on this philosophy, he led both groups into periods of growth. Then, while attending Western Kentucky University, he began to study Interpersonal Communication. Through this study John came to the realization that the business world needed to also focus on making local day to day business personal again.
John also has developed amazing marketing and recruiting talents in himself while working as president of the student ministry union, events facilitator of a college coffee house, and eventually as a youth minister. The student ministry union grew from 3 to 60 members under John’s leadership. Events John held and promoted at Sozo Coffee House generally pulled in about 40 attendees, which is a large number for a small coffee house. As a youth Minister John showed up his first Sunday to find the church with only 2 students for him to teach. Within the first year John’s promotions raised that number to an average of 80 attending students each week. At one event John was able to pull in 73% of all students grades 7 through 12 within a 30 mile radius.
Since joining the Webhost.biz team at the conception point, he has strived to make the Account manager position personal. From one on one meetings and phone calls with potential clients, to assisting current customers, John strives for the personal feel in his everyday life and work. John wants every one of his customers and clients, to have the personal one on one feeling that they were taken care of correctly and honestly. His highly developed interpersonal communication skills make every costumer fell like they are his most important client and that John values them as he would a close friend. He has actually had, on several occasions, a client call just to chat or tell John about personal events in their own life.
John currently lives in Columbus, OH with his amazing wife and daughters.
