John Swartz has been Director of Development at Wellington since 2006. Prior to that, he served for nine years as Director of Development at Methodist Theological School in Ohio. He received a bachelor of art from the Ohio State University and a Master of Divinity from the Boston University School of Theology.

Outside of work, John spends his time shepherding his two children (both Wellington students) to and from their many events and activities. Free time is occupied with following the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ohio State Buckeyes, woodworking, reading and just a little bit of mindless television. He is also the reigning fantasy football champion at Wellington, having bested the faculty three years in a row.
