John Karavas is a Vietnam Era veteran who came to Connecticut in 1968. He graduated with honors, from the University of New Haven with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business, majoring in Economics.

First working as a financial analyst for a New Haven based investment firm, John later joined Liberty Mutual Insurance Company as a business insurance sales agent. Shortly thereafter he became associated with an independent insurance agency in 1972.

John co-founded Diversified Insurance Services Corporation in 1979, and became the sole owner in 1997. In 2008 John decided to set aside his work with insurance clients and focus on working with senior home owners assisting those with limited cash flow to access their brick and stick home equity and convert it into a liquid cash resource by way of a reverse mortgage. 

For the reverse mortgage client the transaction has a positive impact on the quality of life during a time affectionately called "The Golden Years." 

John is also active in the Hamden Rotary Club (president-elect 2008-2009); a past two term president of the Stratford Chapter of Business Network International; a volunteer at the Yale International Office of Students and Scholars; a member of the CT Amber Alert Steering Committee; a member of the Board of Directors - Paier College of Art; the Chair Person of the Board of Advisor's, Salvation Army, New Haven Citadel; and a member of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce
