One of his favorite undergraduate memories was
driving down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras with
32 brothers where Nino Bonura '97 (A1415)
and his family showed the men the best of the
Big Easy. Although he had the time of his life as
an undergraduate, he wants to remind everyone
that brotherhood doesn't end upon graduation.
He's gone on vacations with brothers, they were
in his wedding, he is the godparent of brothers'
children, and so much more. "Theta Xi is such a
part of my life and the brothers are like family,"
John says. "The impact is truly immeasurable."
While serving as the Alpha alumni president, he
set out to re-engage as many alumni as possible
and to show them that the brotherhood was as
strong as ever. That ultimately led to a turnout
of hundreds of brothers attending the 150th
anniversary and the official kickoff of the capital
campaign in 2014. After the 150th, he handed
over the reins to Chris Baldauf '03 (A1487), but
still remains involved by providing guidance and
giving back to the capital campaign.
"Providing a strong foundation for the active
chapter, both financially and with a renovated
chapter house, allows for the men to focus on
academics, athletics, socials, philanthropy, and
recruiting new members," John says. "Having an
Alpha Chapter house located in a dominant place
on campus and look as impressive as it does truly
showcase everything we are and stand for." He
encourages all alumni to look at the construction
progress and think of how it will affect current
and future brothers.
John works at Time Warner cable designing,
developing, and deploying new technologies.
He enjoys spending time with his wife, Elisa;
his three children: Ethan, Joshua, and Aurora;
and their dog, Daisy. You can contact John at
