About John

John was born in Golden Valley and grew up in Edina — a true Minnesotan. He and his wife Debbie have lived in Lakeville for 34 years. They have two grown children: Kristin and her husband Colton live in Blaine, and Johnny and his girlfriend Arabella are in Rochester. No grandkids yet, but Honeybear and Baloo — the kids’ dogs — are always welcome visitors!

John joined LAPP Tannehill in 1998 after seven years with a local competitor. From day one, the culture made an impression. “When I joined the company I was impressed with the dedicated, close-knit group that welcomed us into their Tannehill family.”

What John Loves About His Role

For John, the most satisfying part of the job is working directly with major customers to tackle their biggest challenges — and then watching the best team in the business bring those solutions to life.

The variety of industries LAPP Tannehill serves is something John genuinely gets a kick out of. As he puts it: “Being able to say that I have products in things like critical medical devices, John Deere combines, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is pretty cool.”
