President and CEO of Pure & Gentle Inc., John Blount received his Bachelors in Biochemistry and a Masters in Chemical Engineering. Beginning his career at a major soap and household products company in the early 1980s in their R&D department, John quickly saw that there was no vision for natural, organic ingredients. Like many entrepreneurs, John started Pure & Gentle in his garage with a unique vision – to create simple products formulated with pure ingredients that don’t hurt the planet. And today, in addition to developing over 100 different products for Pure & Gentle, he is active in product formulations and manufacturing for a wide range of businesses. A native Texan, John is active in business and civic communities and is an avid boater and catch-and-release fisherman. He spends his free time either on the lake or with his family and beloved French bulldogs.
