Meet Portage Trustee John Gluth

John “Junior” Gluth

John was born and raised in Port Clinton and has lived here his entire life. He married his high school sweetheart Jan (Lukac) Gluth, and they have a daughter Marie who currently attends OSU (Go Bucks!) and son Trey, who is married to Mackenzie (Stewart). The first Gluth grandchild is coming this December!

John is the owner of Gluth Building, a local contracting company his father started in the 1970’s.  John Junior and John Senior worked side by side together for decades until John Junior took over operation of the business several years ago. 

In 2023, John was newly elected as a Portage Township Trustee. In this last year he has learned quite a bit about the township but likes to share a few takeaways that stick with him.

“Portage township has more to offer than I think people realize when you really take the time to look around. From the natural beauty of the Sandusky Bay to the impressive regional airport and numerous businesses along the way, it is such a great place to live.”

John is available by township email at: gluth@portagetownship.net or phone at 419-656-3629.
