John is a 15 year resident of Countryside. He lives in Ward 2 with his wife of 21 years Kathy. She is a diagnostic sonographer at a local hospital. They have six children, Kayla, John, Lauren, Marissa, Nicole, and Scott. John is the owner and founder of Von Drasek Roofing Inc. He has been self-employed for over 21 years.

John is currently chairman of the Recreation Committee, a member of the Water, Infrastructure, and Flagg Creek Golf Course Committee, as well as past chairman of the License Committee. John is the City liaison to Aging Well, an outreach program for seniors.

Since becoming Alderman in April of 2005, is constantly taking on the City’s issues.

As part of Infrastructure he had the ditch replaced on Sunset Ave.

As Chair of Recreation, he saw to improvements at Brancato, Hollands, Woodland Ridge, and Srejma-Michalek Parks.

As part of Water, he played a role in getting the necessary improvements to the system to achieve 97% accountability here.

We are receiving grant money in 2009 and 2010 for streets in the 5^th Avenue Cutoff area (74^th and Sunset). These streets were in deplorable condition compared to the rest of the City when this area was annexed into over 5 years ago.

John has continued to show that it takes team work to get the job done. Since being sworn in as Alderman, he and the other Ward 2 Alderman, Karen Michalczyk, have demonstrated what it takes to work as a team.

I would like to thank the residents for allowing me the privilege of being your Ward 2 Alderman for the next four years. I will continue to vote for and be the voice of Ward 2. Please vote on April 7, 2009.
