John Marini is a long time Warren resident who has been an advocate for Macomb Habitat for many years. His wide ranging work experience has provided him a number of skills that he has applied as we have prepared ReStore space in Mt. Clemens and Warren, most recently to the renovation of lighting systems for our Shelby Twp. ReStore. John is a great practical problem solver. He “works well with others” on the construction site, as a Board member, and is a most regular supporter of our various events, home dedications and fundraisers. He touches the lives of many through his church, Mt. Calvary Lutheran in Warren, through its food pantry and community garden. We are blessed to have John on our team!
