Republican Party Chairman John Yob began his political career in College Republicans at the University of Michigan and quickly rose up the ranks to serve as national executive director and general chairman of the College Republican National Committee.  

After College Republicans, he utilized his technology expertise to establish one of the first CATI systems on the Republican side and quickly grew a multi-million dollar business in the polling and data acquisition space. Yob utilized that technology to help build a grassroots recruitment funnel that led to domination at state conventions across the country. He has run conventions in roughly 30 states across the country.

Yob later set up a general consulting firm in 2002 that still runs races today and has elected numerous governors, U.S. senators, and congressmen.  He now owns roughly 25 companies in the political space that do roughly $150 million per cycle in business.  

In 2015, Yob moved to St. John with his wife and two children. He owns a number of hospitality businesses on St. John and St. Croix that employ hundreds of people in the  Virgin Islands. He is the biggest employer on St. John and in Frederiksted on St. Croix.
