John Woodgate

Behavior Technician

John grew up in Sammamish, WA, before relocating to Bellingham to earn his B.S. in Psychology. He is the older brother of fellow Perch team member, Will, and their shared experiences with therapy at a young age showed them firsthand how effective support can be. As an adult, that early experience continues to inspire John, driving his commitment to helping others make meaningful progress in their own lives. Before joining the field, John spent six years working as a fisherman in Kodiak, Alaska, where he built discipline and a strong sense of teamwork.

Outside of work, John enjoys DJing with Vinyl records, bouldering and working on older European cars keeping music and movement central in my life. He also shares his home with two cats who keep things lively.
