level to achieve sustainable growth and success.





His journey in business development began in the financial
industry, where he started his career at JP Morgan Chase in 2010.
After gaining valuable experience, John relocated to Clarksville,
TN, in 2018, where he assumed the role of Director of Business
Development for Fortera Credit Union. During this time, John

in achieving their goals and reaching new heights of success.

outside his professional endeavors. He serves on the board of
Recover Our Sons; a non-profit organization focused on mentoring
young men in the community to prepare them for leadership roles
in the future. Additionally, he is a board member of the
Clarksville Hispanic American Family Foundation, where he
contributes to advancing the welfare of Hispanic families in the
area.





John's commitment to his community extends to his personal life
as well. He and his wife are proud parents to five children,
including one boy and four girls. Together, they enjoy spending
quality time outdoors, whether camping, visiting the beach, or
embarking on day trips to explore local attractions.





With a wealth of experience, a passion for business growth, and a
dedication to community service, John Crespo continues positively
impacting the business world and the community.
