John Exley
Full-time Student, Clarkson University - Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization

I was born on 32 Dayton Street in Rochester, NY and raised in Bristol, NY. I am grateful to be apart of and have one of (what I believe to be) the best extended families and network of friends in the world. Undergone freshman year at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY. Obtained 3.75 and 3.87 GPA in my first two semesters and 3.69 GPA this past semester with a major of Interdisciplinary Engineering & Management (iE&M). Wrote a complete business plan for Technological Entrepreneurship class, for which I achieved an A. The business plan focused on the radio frequency technology market and was centered around designing an industry leading RF connector for a top global corporation within the industry that presented the project to Clarkson’s iE&M program. Interned at PropertyCare, Inc. this summer, a local market leader in the property maintenance industry. My dad started the business 5 years ago and has helped generate annual sales growth of 60% each year. I assisted the COO in the implementation of a Microsoft Dynamics CRM computer software system to manage sales, operations, quote/proposal processes, etc.; all making end-to-end business more efficient. I also trained corporate sales manager and salesmen in CRM, utilizing its capabilities to (among other things) improve customer service. Additionally, I wrote a partial business plan for the company to focus itself in one direction and generate funding to help achieve the corporate vision of national expansion. I plan on attending law school after graduating from Clarkson while also pursuing an MBA. At some point in career, plan to satisfy my entrepreneurial appetite and build a business; through which I might be able to create jobs for the economy while providing an avenue whereby I might help the friends and family I care so deeply for.
