Josh Prabhakar and John Downey

John Downey has spent over 40 years in the leading Sales organizations. For the past 37 years, I’ve been with Fort Wayne Wire Die, Inc., where I now serve as the Global Sales Manager. It is a privilege to have worked for this long with a company that has a solid reputation in its industry. John graduated from Ball State University with a business degree focused on sales & marketing. He has been married to his wife for 37 years, and together we’ve raised three great kids and now get to enjoy the fun and joy of six grandchildren. The same year I was married and started my career at Fort Wayne Wire Die, I also found faith in Jesus Christ. When I'm not working, you’ll most likely find me outdoors. I love hiking, golfing, and fishing—pretty much anything that lets me enjoy fresh air and re-wilding in God's creation.
