California-specific
The work is intentionally centered on California parcels, where CEQA, zoning, and public-agency dynamics shape development feasibility.

Background
Accounting discipline applied to an emerging real estate question.
John studies California AAM site selection from the parcel level: CEQA pathway, local zoning, surrounding land use, airspace constraints, and the economics that determine whether deeper diligence is worth the cost.
His professional focus is tax and real estate, with Heaps Advisory built around a specific market gap: California property owners need early, practical analysis before committing to legal, engineering, or full development diligence.
John is expected to complete a B.S. in Accounting from Brigham Young University-Idaho on July 23, 2026.
Operating view
Focused analysis, clear boundaries.
Parcel-level
Heaps Advisory is not built around broad market forecasts. The core question is whether a specific site deserves deeper diligence.
Preliminary by design
Screening work identifies issues and next-step questions. It does not replace attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, or investment advisors.
