SALT LAKE CITY, UT, January 07, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- John Robert DeKlerk has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. DeKlerk brings more than a decade of experience in leadership, finance, and operations to his role as president of Wholesale Office Furniture Utah, a family-owned commercial furniture and office solutions company. Since assuming leadership in 2017, he has played a central role in scaling the business, modernizing operations, and positioning the company as a trusted resource for organizations seeking functional, cost-effective workspace solutions.

Under Mr. DeKlerk's direction, Wholesale Office Furniture Utah has experienced sustained and measurable growth, including a 50% increase in sales in 2025. He attributes this success to a disciplined business model focused on value leadership, operational efficiency, and long-term client relationships. His approach enables businesses of all sizes to access high-quality office furniture while accommodating growth through flexible purchasing options and trade-in programs.

A defining element of Mr. DeKlerk's leadership style is his emphasis on communication, inclusivity, and execution. Fluent in Spanish, he works closely with installation teams and clients to ensure clarity, efficiency, and trust throughout the project lifecycle. This capability has been particularly valuable in serving clients with complex logistics or multilingual needs and has strengthened the company's reputation for service excellence.

Wholesale Office Furniture Utah's impact and performance have been recognized through multiple industry and regional honors. The company has been a two-time recipient of the Best of the West award for Office Furniture Retail, received six nominations for Best of State in Furniture, and is consistently cited among Utah's leading office furniture providers.

Prior to fully committing to entrepreneurial leadership, Mr. DeKlerk built a strong foundation in finance and accounting. He served as a senior accountant at TaskEasy (now part of the WorkWave family) from 2015 to 2018, where he assisted with financial reporting and analysis. Earlier in his career, he worked as a staff accountant at HealthEquity, making process improvements with each opportunity he was given, all while gaining experience that continues to inform his strategic decision-making as a business owner.

Mr. DeKlerk holds a Master of Business Administration from Western Governors University and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah. He also earned an Associate of Arts in Business Administration from Salt Lake Community College. His education, combined with hands-on leadership experience, has shaped a pragmatic, growth-oriented management philosophy.

He credits much of his personal and professional development to the support of his wife and family. While his early career aspirations centered on public accounting and corporate finance, he chose to partner with his brother to grow Wholesale Office Furniture into what it is today. In this role, Mr. DeKlerk led key initiatives including rebranding, operational restructuring, and a significant evolution of the company's marketing and sales strategy.

A devoted husband and father of three, Mr. DeKlerk balances professional ambition with a strong commitment to family and community.

Looking ahead, he plans to continue expanding Wholesale Office Furniture Utah through strategic hiring, process automation, and digital growth. His long-term vision includes transforming the company into a scalable, nationally accessible operation through an enhanced e-commerce platform that supports direct shipping and coordinated local installation partners across the United States.

As part of future planning, Mr. DeKlerk and his partners are exploring formal business valuation and potential merger or acquisition opportunities, with the intention of remaining involved as advisors during any transition. His career reflects a consistent commitment to disciplined growth, responsible leadership, and building organizations that serve both clients and communities effectively.
