John enjoys balancing the systemic solutions Go provides to clients with the seemingly futile exercise of picking up trash in the local woods with his kids. This may stem from the satisfaction of creating a safe place for neighborhood kids to catch toads and darter fish. Or, it may be long simmering feud between John and garbage – John was mercilessly slashed by a broken bottle during Clean Up Barberton Week in 1987, requiring five stitches. He still bears that scar!
