John Reinke is a 2005 United States Military Academy graduate at West Point and served approximately eight and a half years on active duty as an Infantry Officer.  Over the course of his time in uniform, John served as a Light Infantry Platoon Leader, Ranger Platoon Leader, Assistant Operations Officer, and Reconnaissance Troop Commander during four deployments in support of the Global War on Terrorism, two deployments to Iraq and two to Afghanistan.

After joining Corporate America, John led Warehousing and Logistics operations with a Fortune 500 Company and at a privately held Third Party Logistics provider.  John and his business partner, Hunter Whirley, have a 10+ year long relationship working together in and out of uniform and joined the FPC network in December 2018.  Their firm specializes in Warehousing and Transportation Operations for Third Party Logistics Providers, Food & Beverage Distributors, Consumer Goods Distributors, and Automotive Aftermarket Parts and Accessories companies.

“My time as an Infantry Officer prepared me for business/franchise ownership because I was blessed with having to work in ambiguous, dynamic environments.  That experience helped me assess situations through multiple lenses, realize that reality is not founded in simple “black and white” solutions, and keep pushing forward regardless of current circumstance.”
