On 1 July, the start of the new Rotary year, John Meyer began a one-year term as Club President, succeeding Jeff Staads.
John is an Army veteran and currently serves as an officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard. He is an extensive traveler, homebrewer, and spends free time at home in Woodbury with his wife and young family.
He found his passion while deployed with the Minnesota Army National Guard in 2011. Working with unemployed soldiers before returning home, John worked hard to help those who wished to start their own businesses chart a path toward success. He carried that passion and focus from the sands of Kuwait and Iraq, through law school, into practice as an Attorney. John is a graduate of Hamline University and Mitchell Hamline School of Law (formerly William Mitchell College of Law). John focuses primarily on business and commercial real estate law using his expertise in private practice, part of the Morris Law Group in Edina, and now with Guaranty Commercial Title in Minneapolis. John jokes that this is his “fifth career,” having spent time working as a federal employee, full-time with the Minnesota National Guard, business owner, and in professional politics.
John brings his experiences into his role as club president along with a family history of Rotary involvement that dates back to when he was a boy participating in service events with the Rotary club when John's father was club president!
