After leading several successful sales organizations in the telecommunications and software space for almost a decade, John began investing in companies predominately in the eCommerce arena.

In July 2019, The BattlBox Group acquired Carnivore Club, an artisanal meat subscription box.

BattlBox continued to see exponential growth with the strategy of leading with content and community. This eventually lead to their Netflix original series ‘Southern Survival’ in July 2020.
