Meet John Rapp

John brings over 36 years of retail experience, combined with diverse real-estate expertise that includes brokerage, development, acquisitions, senior management, and leading the way in alternative-fuels infrastructure. Since 2014, John has been honored to help establish the fueling infrastructure for California’s zero-emission hydrogen-fuel-cell‐vehicle network. He has overseen the real-estate activity for approximately 60 % of the hydrogen-fueling sites in California today. 

John began his retail career with Mobil Oil Corporation in June 1986—just days after graduating with a Business degree from San Diego State University. He held eight corporate positions including: National Sales Manager; Resale Area Marketing Manager; New Business Acquisitions Manager; Marketing Training Advisor; Senior Real Estate Representative; Supervisor of Company Operations; Automotive Lubricant Specialist; Sales and Business Consultant.

John then pursued his passion for real estate, joining Hess Oil Corporation to orchestrate their real-estate expansion in the Southeastern United States—specifically Florida. Afterward, as Real Estate Development Manager with The Sembler Company (based in St. Petersburg, Florida), he completed build-to-suit developments for Eckerd Drugs (later acquired by CVS Pharmacy).

Returning to California, John worked with Single Site Solutions as West-Coast Acquisitions Manager, exclusively developing gasoline-convenience-store ground-up, build-to‐suit, and ground-lease projects for 7‑Eleven Corporation. He later advanced to Senior Vice President of KZ Development—focusing on retail-shopping-center projects and again exclusively working with CVS in Southern California.

Most recently, John represented United Oil Company—a major California fuel distributor/jobber—where he facilitated the acquisition and rebranding of 80+ Shell-branded facilities. He also worked with Propel Fuels (an alternative-fuels company), spearheading real-estate acquisitions in California in the E-85 (flex-fuel) and biodiesel sectors.
