My name is John Padden. Originally from Parkersburg, WV, I earned my business degree from WVU in 2015 before becoming an operations manager in the home building industry. In 2017, I relocated to Philadelphia where I obtained my master's degree in Marketing and Data Analytics and entered the renewable energy sector as a solar developer. Right before COVID hit, I joined the Cape Fear Solar team to serve the Raleigh area before covering Brunswick County.

When I'm not working, I can be found playing basketball or weightlifting. I am also an FAA licensed drone pilot.
