John Bauknight
Founder

In 1994, John left the employee benefits field for the real estate and investment arena and he is still involved as President of the real estate investment firm, Longleaf Holdings, LLC.

    In 1997, John read an article in an entrepreneur's magazine about the shredding and recycling industry and passed it along to his brother-in-law, Nick Wildrick. John foresaw great marketing and sales potential as the business plan for Shred First was being formulated. He put his real estate career on hold and helped start Shred First, LLC. In seven years, Shred First was named by INC. Magazine as one of the country's 500 fastest growing, privately-held companies twice; sales were good.
 
   In 2003, John and Nick, along with a silent partner, founded Total Records & Information Management, LLC.
