John Crooks joined Emerald Youth Foundation in 2006.

He’s a Farragut High School alumnus and graduated from the University of Tennessee's College of Communication and Information. For more than a decade, he worked in on-air and management roles with WIVK, WNOX, WOKI and WNML, including as producer for Hallerin Hilton Hill.

John provides leadership across a broad spectrum of disciplines for Emerald Youth including public relations, marketing, advertising, digital communications, brand management, event production and fundraising. And thanks to Canva, he also pretends to be a graphic designer on occasion.

Away from work he can be found cooking, playing the piano, and spending time with his wife and three daughters.
