John Woeppel
Vice-President Operations
John is a New York native and graduate of the State University of NY Oswego. He began his career in 1977 as a management trainee with Roadway Express in Syracuse, NY. Throughout his 13+ year career with Roadway he held operation positions in Buffalo, NY, sales positions in Syracuse, NY and Canton, OH and the responsibilities of terminal manager in Alliance, OH and Utica, NY.
In 1989 he and a partner founded Aqua Java, a water and coffee distributor. In 1997 John entered into a joint venture with John Wheeler, another Syracuse entrepreneur, and purchased land blessed with three natural springs. Aqua Java thus became Aqua Valley Springs. With a newly constructed bottling plant, Aqua Valley Springs became one of the largest suppliers of natural spring water in the state of New York.
In 2008 John sold his shares of Aqua Valley Springs and joined WJW Associates. His initial role in Business Development led him to become the Syracuse Terminal manager in 2010. In 2013 his role expanded and he became the Northeast Regional Manager. His successes in this role led to his promotion to Vice President of Operations in 2015.
John's experience and leadership have contributed significantly to the success of WJW. He is also active in the local community where he volunteers each Thursday to provide "Meals on Wheels" in downtown Syracuse. John also enjoys spending time golfing and enjoying the company of his family and friends.
