TARRYTOWN, NY, March 25, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- John K. Fleck 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. Fleck has established a distinguished career in education and counseling, marked by two decades of dedicated service and leadership. Since 2005, he has served as a school counselor at Somers Central School District, where he works with students from both middle and high school levels. In this capacity, Mr. Fleck has become an expert in adolescent development, providing private college counseling and supporting students through critical academic and personal milestones. His work has exposed him to a diverse community, including students with Down syndrome and classical autism. These experiences have profoundly shaped his approach, transforming his perspective from simply caring for these students to actively recognizing and encouraging their interests and independence. This shift has made him a more compassionate counselor who values each individual's potential.

In addition to his primary role in education, Mr. Fleck began working as a bookkeeper for FleckKeepsBooks in 2025. This venture reflects his commitment to professional growth and diversification, as he balances his expertise in counseling with the demands of managing a successful side business.

Throughout his career, Mr. Fleck has been actively involved in professional organizations that advance the field of counseling. He is a member of the Westchester Putnam Rockland Counseling Association and the New York State School Counselor Association. Notably, he was elected twice to a statewide leadership position within the New York State School Counselor Association, serving as regional governor for Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties. In this role, he facilitated professional development opportunities and represented local concerns at the state level, helping to shape the organization's direction. His election to this post, along with his service as a trustee for the Westchester-Putnam-Rockland Counseling Association, allowed him to establish a unique professional identity distinct from that of his well-known father.

Mr. Fleck's educational background laid a strong foundation for his achievements. He earned a Master of Education in counseling psychology from Teachers' College, Columbia University in 2005, following a Bachelor of Arts in history from Haverford College in 1999. The rigorous training he received at Columbia University equipped him with advanced skills in counseling psychology, which have been instrumental in his ability to support students' academic and emotional development. His undergraduate studies at Haverford College fostered critical thinking and empathy, qualities that continue to inform his approach as an educator.

Family influence played a significant role in shaping Mr. Fleck's career path. Both of his parents were counselors at different educational levels, inspiring him to pursue a similar vocation. Early on, he was recognized by peers as someone people naturally turned to for advice and support. After briefly working at a law firm, Mr. Fleck realized his true passion lay elsewhere and decided to pursue graduate studies in counseling psychology. He began as an intern at Somers Central School District before being hired full-time, a transition that allowed him to experience firsthand the dynamic nature of working with students and supporting families as they navigate contemporary challenges, such as the influence of social media and the internet.

Beyond his professional responsibilities, Mr. Fleck is committed to civic engagement and service. He serves as a sponsor for Guiding Eyes for the Blind and was a three-time foster-dog parent to dogs currently in training. He also sits on the Board of Trustees for the Westchester Putnam Rockland Counseling Association. Additionally, he previously advised students through the National Honor Society, under the auspices of the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

Born in New York City, Mr. Fleck enjoys gaming, reading, swimming and movies during his personal time. Looking ahead, he plans to continue developing his work in education while expanding his bookkeeping business. He also seeks to leverage technology to provide college counseling services beyond the Northeast region, connecting with students nationwide and globally.

Mr. Fleck credits much of his success to the unwavering support of his family, and the collaborative spirit among colleagues at Somers Central School District. This supportive environment has enabled him to contribute effectively to classroom planning and share valuable insights about student needs.

Through his steadfast dedication to student advocacy, professional leadership, and community involvement, Mr. Fleck continues to make significant contributions to education and counseling, while inspiring others with his commitment to seeing individuals for their potential rather than their limitations.
