John entered the industry via a traditional architectural education, but his career to date has been anything but traditional.

Working as an architect across a variety of public and private, John became a well-known figure on the North East construction industry scene, and typically cycled to meetings to not undermine his green design philosophy.

Alongside the design and delivery of an industry leading OpenBIM technology platform, John was working with contractors, clients and government departments across Europe and the USA to deploy BIM processes and technologies.

Combining his passion for modernising the industry through digitisation, a deep knowledge of BIM standards and processes, and pragmatic and engaging communication style, John is one of the most recognisable BIM evangelists who has been invited to speak across the globe.

John’s profile brought him to the attention of Glider who saw his skills and experience as an ideal fit to lead the gliderbim® product direction.

Delivering talks on behalf of the UK BIM Alliance as well as Glider, John uses his platform to be a conscientious disruptor, with a positive and challenging stance to increase BIM adoption and improve information management standards across the industry.
