John Pfefferle embarked on his real estate journey in 1966 following his college graduation. Establishing Pfefferle Realtors, which later evolved into NAI Pfefferle, in 1971 marked the inception of his influential career as CEO. His strategic expansion into commercial real estate encompassed management, sales, and development, with a keen focus on the Fox Cities area throughout the 1980s.

Over the past two decades, John’s leadership has steered the development and management of a substantial property portfolio exceeding $400.0 million. His enduring contributions to the Fox Valley real estate community are evident through his longstanding membership in the Fox Cities Board of Realtors and prior involvement on the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce board of directors. In recognition of his accomplishments, he was inducted into the chamber’s esteemed Business Hall of Fame in 2011.

John’s commitment extends beyond business realms; he actively engages with various community organizations. Currently, he serves as the president of the University of Wisconsin Health-Fox Valley Family Practice Clinic and holds a position on the board of directors of the Fox Cities Building for the Arts. His past affiliations include board memberships with the St. Elizabeth Hospital Foundation, Appleton Downtown Inc., Appleton Catholic Education Board, and the Outagamie County Board of Supervisors, where he chaired the property committee for eight years during his 12-year tenure.
