Hunks in Heels - John Childress

John Childress

• Statesville Chamber of Commerce


• I am a born and raised Statesvillian. I graduated as a Statesville Greyhound and as a Tar Heel. I ultimately returned to Statesville to marry my High School sweetheart (Melinda). We officially moved back to Statesville in 2011 with our daughter, Addison (now 8). Our family is very involved and engaged in the Statesville community and want nothing but a thriving, loving, embracing, and together community. I have been in the local banking industry most of my career. Most recently, I have been working at the Chamber of Commerce over the last year in a commercial and retail development capacity along with supporting the marketing of our airport. Speaking of retail development, my wife and I (and mostly her) own and operate Banner Drug at the end of E. Broad St. Addie is in the 3rd grade in the dual immersion program at East Iredell Elementary School. We all love being in Statesville with family, friends, and the community and look forward to many years of giving and receiving support to and from this community.
