John Glasser

President & Founder

John has a passion for the youth of Sioux Falls and has led the Collision team since 2008. John grew up in Wyoming and graduated from Riverton High School, where his running skills earned him a scholarship to attend and run for the University of Sioux Falls. He graduated with a Business degree and then earned his MBA. Years later, he obtained his Master’s Degree in Christian Leadership from Liberty Online University.

John has had a front row seat to watching God do some amazing things in and through students in the Sioux Falls area. Collision started because of a student’s passion at Lincoln High School and today, the organization serves students at all Sioux Falls middle and high schools and across several states. John’s work with Collision has given him a platform to speak at conferences and work with other leaders from around the country who are looking to impact youth in a growing post-Christian culture. He has also traveled to Ukraine on several occasions to speak and train up leaders who come alongside youth to share and live out their faith.

John is married to Angie, and they have three children. In his downtime he enjoys riding his motorcycle, thrift store shopping, watching movies, and playing video games. You can call him a kid at heart.
