In early 2020, John saw people experiencing homelessness and the challenges will providing shelter at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. He started to volunteer, and ended up managing the biggest shelter in the state of Virginia. During the peak of the crisis, we hosted up to  800 people for a total of 502 days. It was urgent, and it was successful. He helped us develop policies and procedures and empowered staff to deploy sustainable structural and programmatic changes to best meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness. His ability to positively develop systems, quickly, at a time of dire need for humanity, amazed me.
