My name is John Satini and I am running for Salt Lake City School Board, District 1. I was born in southern California and moved to Utah about 1980. The fist house my parents moved into was in the Rose Park community. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, before he passed, I purchased the house, and am now raising my family in the very home I grew up in. I am married to my beautiful wife Lisia Satini and we have 5 beautiful children. 1 girl, 4 boys. From the time my children stepped foot into the classroom I have been heavily involved with their education. I have volunteered on numerous accounts for the schools they have attended. I have also coached the little league football teams, coached basketball at the Jr jazz level, AAU, and now high school. I am currently working on getting my degree in film, and am a small business owner and entrepreneur.
Since moving to Rose Park from California, I have seen our great city change and grow into a multi-cultural community of color. We have been blessed with the richness of a variety of cultures and every day I have the fortune of seeing this every time I step out of my house. Because of the diverse richness of our district, don’t you think it is only appropriate that the members of the school board also represent the districts that it serves?
VOTE for me, JOHN SATINI! Elect me to represent District 1 on the Salt Lake City School Board and take on the responsibility of making sure that all members of our community is represented!!

I grew up in Provo, Utah and am the oldest of 10 children. I served an LDS mission from 2000 – 2002 to Mendoza Argentina. After my mission I married my high school sweetheart, Casey. We now have 5 children. I attended BYU where I earned a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering and played on the basketball team. I am an owner of a successful electronic payments company in Spanish Fork called Platinum Payment Systems and have recently started a new business venture called Zift, an electronic payments technology platform. I have a passion for learning and at any given time have about 4 different books on my night stand. In the evening or on weekends you might find me playing basketball, volleyball, softball, riding horses, hunting, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, shooting guns, wrestling and playing with my kids, tinkering on the computer, working in my garden, checking my beehives, hanging out with my family, playing the ukulele, piano, or on a date with my wife. I believe the proper role of government is to secure our rights to our life, our liberty, and our property and do all I can to make sure those rights are not infringed upon and to secure them for future generations. I currently serve on the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environmental Quality Appropriation Committee, the house Business and Labor Standing Committee and as the Vice Chair of the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Standing Committee. I was also appointed to serve as a member of the State Sentencing Commission.
