As a resident of Monterey Park for over 30 years, John Man attended Brightwood Elementary and Alhambra High School and graduated from California Polytechnic State University. After graduating John held positions as sales manager, account executive, credit officer, president and vice president of several companies. It was at this time that he came to the realization that nothing was as rewarding as helping others. That ideal and the thought of giving back to the city that provided him so much that make up the spirit of John Man.
