John’s colorful personality and witty humor make him a fan favorite among the team. Having served in the US Marine Corps, John believes in bringing a level of service that is ‘above and beyond’ the call of duty. His clients trust in John’s construction knowledge and know that he will do everything to ensure a great house and a smooth experience for his clients when buying or selling.

John learned efficiency and excellence from an early age, joining the Marines just two months after his 17th birthday and finishing high school at Saint Louis Catholic High School in Honolulu. His service included two Westpac’s on the USS Tarawa, serving in the Philippines, Africa, Australia and Hawaii. As a Marine, John was a marksmanship instructor and a proficient scuba diver.

After serving in the military, John joined the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners Union, where he learned construction and carpentry skills that give him unique expertise over the average realtor. He then started a union construction company, The Four S Corp, which earned contracts with Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF), Aeronautical Radio, Inc (Arinc), the Hoffman Buildings in Alexandria, VA, and CVS drug stores.

An avid sports fan, John learned how to successfully compete while growing up boxing and playing football in Southern Maryland. With a passion for football, he was a defensive assistant coach for the Cardinals at Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington DC from 2011-2015. Over the years, he coached a variety of sports—college and youth football, girls’ basketball, and men’s softball.

John and his wife, Patti, got married in 1987, after John bought his first house on a VA loan in North Beach, MD at age 24. They have a daughter, Haley, a son, Conor, and six grandchildren... and counting. They lived for many years in Deale and then in Huntingtown before recently coming full circle back to North Beach. Their new ‘Stueckler Building’ was completed in the fall of 2021. It is a mixed-use building with their real estate office on the first floor, and their personal residence on the top two floors. Their 5,700 sf contemporary overlooks the town’s boardwalk and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.

John is a Diamond award-winning member of the Realtors Association of Southern Maryland (SMAR). He is also a proud member of the American Legion Stallings-Williams Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach. Together, he and Patti have built one of the most successful real estate teams in Maryland.
