JOHN H. GALLEN, JR. – OWNER

JohnJohn Gallen is an entrepreneur with a proven track record of successful and honest business practices.  With a background in office furniture, John H. Gallen Jr. established Ethosource with the idea of providing pre-owned office furniture and liquidation services to businesses.  In 2001, John purchased his first inventory of office furniture and immediately began selling.  What began as a one-room office in Sinking Spring, PA quickly expanded to operations totaling over 100,000 square feet.  Ethosource now has a manufacturing facility and two showroom locations.

John’s mission for Ethosource is to provide pre-owned and new office furniture at significant cost savings while supporting customers with complete design, project management and furniture liquidation services.  The key to the company’s success has been to consistently exceed our customer’s expectations.

While he is now a business owner, John has not always been at the helm.  Though formally educated at Georgetown and Villanova Universities, he learned the business through hands-on experience with liquidations, project management and sales.  The “secret” to John’s success has been to maximize value for customers, create an environment heavily focused on providing unmatched customer service and project management and to consistently pay all vendors on time, as agreed.  His reputation in the business speaks for itself.

John is not only a successful business owner, but he also contributes a great deal to his community and charitable organizations, including…

  • Wyomissing Borough (Pennsylvania) – Finance Committee Chairman
  • Wyomissing Borough Councilman (Pennsylvania)
  • Caron Foundation Board Member
  • YMCA of Reading and Berks County Board Member
  • Greater Reading Economic Partnership Board Member
  • United Way Campaign Champion
  • Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – Organizer of Numerous Charity Events and Campaigns
  • Opportunity House (Berks County, PA) – Volunteer and Provider of Furniture Resources
  • Berks Women-In-Crisis – Volunteer and Provider of Furniture Resources
