Professional Bio
Following a series of successful businesses in the Philadelphia, tri-state area, between 1983 and 2013, John made a name for himself in the decorative plumbing industry. From his roots in a family run manufacturer’s representative agency in the early eighties, to his own theatrical costume business from 1984 to 1994, then running several plumbing showrooms throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, John created The Weinstein Group, a decorative plumbing sales agency in the Mid-Atlantic until selling it in 2013. It was then he joined Xync Brands as President of Ryvyr, a luxury bath furniture and fixture brand (formerly known as Xylem). That role continued into the new acquisition of the brand by Elk Group Int’l. until September 2017 when John gladly accepted his new position as Director of the Franz Viegener Premium Collection, a boutique, decorative faucet brand of the parent company FV Group of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Franz Viegener fit in nicely with John’s expertise in the industry and the marriage has remained fruitful since. John resides in the Philadelphia area with his family while the company is headquartered in Gurnee, IL, a Chicago suburb.
