  • John Roush

    My name is John Roush, 34, born in San Diego, California and moved to Phoenix, Arizona at age 10. I’m naturally competitive and enjoy being challenged. As a teenager I ran track and played football for Thunderbird high school and Glendale community college. I started working construction right out of high school. I married my beautiful wife, Jaclyn, in 2008. We now have four boys. Landon, 11, Identical twins Zachery and Wesley, 10, last but not least Hudson, 2. For fun we like to go on road trips, hike, camp, off-road etc. Pretty much anything fun out in nature. I am the President of Next Generation Windows & Doors, Inc. We specialize in custom fabricating and pre-manufactured window and door installation. I run my business with pride and integrity. I enjoy educating and inspiring my clients, builders, and installers. We are always seeking innovative solutions to daily challenges in the construction industry. The more I learned about 11 Summit and what the Casa stood for, I knew I needed to be a part of this. These kids need a voice and I’m proud and honored to be a part of this movement.
