Among his myriad accomplishments, he currently serves on the boards of the National Park Foundation, the American Battlefield Trust and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation.
Here in Texas, he is a long time member of the Texas Historical Commission, and is currently serving as Chairman. He also serves as a Board Member for Friends of Vicksburg National Military Park, Houston Police Foundation, San Antonio Zoo and The Admiral Nimitz Foundation.
In West Texas, John has partnered with the Borderlands Research Institute on numerous wildlife and habitat research projects.
In 2007, he acquired 9-Point Mesa Ranch in southern Brewster County, a breathtaking high desert oasis teeming with wildlife and the location of a continuing restoration success story, thanks in large part to John’s passion for West Texas and the wildlife that thrives there.
