John has received numerous awards, including the Director's Medal for Exceptional Service from the US Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the American Bankers Association’s (ABA) Distinguished Service Award for his career work in the compliance field, the Patricia Wise Award from the West Coast AML Forum (WCAML), as well as several awards for writing and for his podcast, “AML Now” (which has become “AML Conversations”). John was recognized with the ACAMS Lifetime Service Award in September 2017 and remains on the ACAMS Advisory Board. He also serves on Marquette University’s Commercial Banking Board and a number of other boards and steering committees.
