About
John N. Wilson
Founder of Arkira Partners and VIATION. Author of The Synthesist, forthcoming.
01
Solving puzzles since fourteen.
John started his first business at fourteen, repairing a lawnmower and going door to door to pay for piano lessons. His first real job, at eighteen, was a turnaround at a computer shop.
Three decades in entertainment and technology followed, most of it on the technology side. Today he runs Arkira Partners and VIATION, a design firm for sound, light and technology in liturgical spaces.
“Solving the puzzle is its own kind of satisfaction, and it helps people. I know that’s what drives me.”
He believes serving others first is the foundation of anything that lasts. He writes at The Ledger.

The Synthesist.
The Hidden Power of the Inverted-T. Forthcoming. A case for the generalist who goes deep in one field and wide across many, and why that shape of mind matters more as AI takes on narrow tasks.
