John was born and raised in California, attended and graduated Dallas High School in Oregon, and studied Business Management in college.

Sergeant Simmons served in multiple deployments, was squad leader for combat search and rescue, and represented the entire Ranger Regiment competing in Best Ranger Competition in 1996, 1997, and 1998. While in the military, John met his future wife Ana. John and Ana were married on June 30th, 1997. In July of 1999, Ana and John moved to Northern Colorado where they quickly fell in love with the people, lifestyle, and outdoor recreation. For 7 years John worked for Johnny Carinos Italian Restaurant.

On August 3rd, 2007, John and Ana welcomed their first son, Evan. For many years John and Ana struggled and prayed for a second child. Their prayers were answered and they welcomed their second son, Ean, on August 23rd, 2016. John quoted, "Being a Father is a blessing and truly makes everything else seem insignificant." John sets the example when it comes to balance and quality of life. He offers exceptional customer service while balancing priorities: Faith, Family, Friends, Fun (which to most is work), Finances, and Fitness. 

Why Real Estate? "Because I love people and I enjoy being a part of their lives! I LOVE what I do!" Why start a new company? "This venture is only possible because of my real estate partner Jesse Laner who is taller than me, smarter than me, younger than me, and better looking than me. In addition, we both love setting the standard and helping others. I have a large extended family which I support. I was born to serve others; I led troops in the military, I led personnel in the restaurant industry, and now Jesse and I have the opportunity to lead and develop other successful real estate agents while serving our buyers and sellers.
