"Every business flourishes or wilts with the quality of its people and the outcomes from their efforts as perceived by the consumer."  John Eichenholtz

John came to OneWhoServes, Inc. in January 2008. His background has little to do with technology (he believes in Arthur C. Clarke's observation that "Any sufficiently advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic") and everything to do with management and growth. Prior to joining OneWhoServes, Inc. John spent over 20 years as a business executive and independent management consultant in a diverse assortment of companies including those in healthcare, retail, production and general services sectors.

John moved to Asheville in 1999 with the intent of semi-retiring. He kept in the game by doing some consulting, but mostly he played sports and spent time logging and landscaping his little 45-acre forest. But he missed the action and teamwork of working environments too much, and decided to rejoin the business world and join our team.
