Owner’s Locker has been John Van Meter's dream and passion for some time and is the product of his years of travel. In his career, John spent substantial time away from his home base and would always go to great lengths to feel comfortable away from home. His vision is focused on making life easier and his corporate background unexpectedly gave him the insights he needed to start Owner's Locker. John said goodbye to his lawyer days at Ashland Oil and hello to the dreams of living in the vacation world.

The inner entrepreneur quickly surfaced as did his first love of writing. John put his journalism degree to work on developing his communication plan with Owner's Locker Members. He's now enjoying the life of making peoples vacations even better than before.

Brian knows all about vacation clubs and their members. After a stint as a captain of the Nautilus at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, he was working for Disney Vacation Club in 1992 when he met John and sold him a vacation club interest. They stayed in touch, both knowing in the back of their minds that they’d work together one day. Last year that happened as Brian joined John at Owner’s Locker to help make John’s dream a reality. Since his vacation club days, Brian has kept his passion about making peoples vacations wonderful and, through various positions, has developed some pretty incredible operational and logistical skills which have been so important to getting Owner’s Locker going.
