JOHN TEDESCHI

Broker

John comes to Suncadia from the Grand Pacific coast…not the Pacific we know and love here, but the coastal city of Wollongong in Australia, poised idyllically along Grand Pacific Drive. Much like the great Northwest, this area is known for its scenic beauty, dense forests, rocky ridgelines, and an iconic mountain range (Illawarra). In fact, the natural rugged beauty of the Cascades Mountains reminded John of his former homeland, a key factor in his decision to settle in Suncadia, where he has been a long-time homeowner.

John has an undergraduate degree from the University of Wollongong and an MBA from the University of Dallas. He then spent 25 years working in senior management in the corporate world, founding a very successful mid-sized technology company. It was during this period that John became a homeowner and resident at Suncadia. He immediately gravitated to the mountain lifestyle and outdoor recreation that abounds on all sides. In fact, it is John’s love and appreciation of the dynamic living experience here that has led him to become a broker at Suncadia, where he can share his love and appreciation for the area with others.
