John joined Care Plus NJ approximately 30 years ago. Graduating from Farleigh Dickson University with a Bachelor Degree in Social Work, he started his career providing vocational counseling services in the Partial Hospital Department. After working directly with clients for many years, John realized those participating in the workshop activities were capable and motivated to work at a higher level. The need to provide meaningful work and teach marketable skills is how Care Plus Laser Imaging as a division and eventually Care Plus Workforce Solutions (CPWS), was formed.

In 1996, John brought the business concept of remanufacturing cartridges to the agency. The team of three included John, his supervisor, and one client who completed most of the remanufacturing, with John delivering the cartridges from his personal vehicle. The gross sales for the first year was approximately $17,000. With John’s dedication, our “remanufactured cartridge business” expanded, and now includes CPWS as a certified HP dealers selling OEM (new products) and an ecommerce site! John has worked tirelessly to help CPWS grow the business model to also offer janitorial and laundry services. Our collective business tracks have grossed 6 million dollars in sales! When asked why do this type of work John said: “The most rewarding part of my job is seeing our workers take ownership, pride and dedication in their work. When our workers move on to other opportunities, I feel we have done our job at CPWS.

As the new President of CPWS, John plans to continue to excel and lead the company to even greater heights and display why he was the best candidate for the job.
