John Bracken
A little about me….Graduating as a history major from a liberal arts university in Connecticut, I was unsure of my career path. An interview with a local energy firm landed me my first job as an operations manager, which eventually led me to my current position as an oil broker. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to meet people from all parts of the world and since the oil market is very influenced by our economic and political climate, it allowed me to utilize my interest in current events.
On a personal note, I am a husband and father of two daughters who are currently in college, both of whom are much more focused on their future than I was at their age. During their elementary and middle-school years, I was a soccer and softball coach, allowing me to exercise my innately loud voice. I am honored to be a Zenie Foundation coach and look forward to guiding students through the college process, where I hope my insight and experience will be a valuable resource.
