Bio: John Fanning
John is the proud husband of 31 years to Susie, dad to Aaron (Cristy), Sean (Vero), and Cade, and “Pops” to his grandson Luca John.
John was born in Aurora, Illinois and spent the first 14 years of his life in Sandwich, Illinois. In the summer of 1979 John, his 3 brothers and the two heroes in his life, his mom and dad, moved to Green Valley, Arizona, where he attended Sahuarita High School.
After high school, John attended Pima Community College for 2 years, followed by Northern Arizona University, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Education, and Master’s degree in Educational Leadership.
John worked the majority of his career in Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District No. 35 in many different positions. He has been an elementary and middle school Physical Education teacher, middle school and high school coach, Athletic Director, Assistant / Associate Principal and Principal, and recently, after 35.5 years retired as the District Outreach Coordinator. His love for children’s well-being and love for sports made it an easy career decision.
Being an educator and parent for the past 35.5 years in Santa Cruz County has given him insight into what an incredible community that we live in. The children and families of SCC deserve the best, and John has made it his life’s mission to make decisions based on that fact.
John is proud of his past accomplishments which include: 2024 Az19 Most Influential People Award, 23-year blood donor, RRHS 2004 Basketball State Champions Head Coach, SCVUSD No. 35 & NASSP / MetLife Principal of the Year, ASA Middle Level President, and Sahuarita Athletic Hall of Fame.

THE HISTORIC VALLE VERDE RANCH
The Hidden Gem of Tubac
The Historic Valle Verde Ranch offers a unique blend of history and nature for travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Built in 1938, this beautifully preserved adobe ranch is surrounded by the modern-day Tubac Barrio, yet retains its old-world charm on six serene acres.
The Ranch features three individual guest units, plus the original three bedroom, adobe house, all filled with character and echoes of the past. Whether you're an artist, historian, or avid birder, the private four-acre mesquite bosque (forest) provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Wander through the property, and you'll find yourself at the historic Anza Trail, where you can choose your own adventure -- head North to Tubac Village and the Presidio State Park or head South to the Tumacacori National Historic Park and Mission, built in 1681, a scenic three mile hike along the Santa Cruz River.
For bird lovers, Valle Verde Ranch is recognized by the Tucson Audubon Society as a "cardinal level" premium birding habitat, making it a prime spot to observe both resident and migrating birds, along with other Arizona wildlife. It's a hidden gem for those who love a mix of history, nature, and wildlife."

GARY BRASHER of RUSS LYON SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALITY
Discuss your real estate needs for buying, selling, leasing, or just exploring the territory.
I am a 5th generation native Arizonan and have been in the real estate business for over 40 years. I began my career with Russ Lyon Real Estate in the early 1980s and then spent 25 years as the President of Brasher Real Estate in Tubac. During my time in Tubac I have been a principal and partner in developing and building over 400 homes as well as one of the managing partners of the Barrio de Tubac, a master planned development in the community. Eight years ago I rejoined Russ Lyon/Sotheby’s International Realty and am excited to be back as a part of the RLSIR team!
My wife Tracey and I are blessed to have 4 daughters and six grandchildren all living here in Southern Arizona! All 4 grandchildren are in the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District so, in addition to work, we are constantly on the move from one event to another whether it be sports, dance, or academic activities. Tracey and I are partners in life and in our real estate business and love working with one of our daughters, Sea Anna, who serves as the administrator and sales agent in our firm.
As a local businessman I feel it is important to also serve my community through volunteer and charitable work and have served as the past President of the Tubac Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Cruz Valley Citizens Council, Co-Chair of the Real Estate Committee of the Arizona/Mexico Commission. I have been appointed by the Governor to the Groundwater Advisory Board for the Santa Cruz Active Management Area. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Carondolet Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales and beginning in January of 2025 will be a member of the Board of Directors for the Tubac Fire District. In addition I have volunteered extensively for a variety of faith based organizations which serve Santa Cruz County and greater Arizona.
As a Realtor/ Broker and Developer for over 40 years I have learned the community in which I serve from top to bottom and would be happy to put my expertise and knowledge of the market to work on your behalf in finding that special home, ranch, farm or development property in the Santa Cruz Valley and the I-19 corridor.
