John H. W. Pinder IIParliamentary Secretary of Tourism, Investments & Aviation

Member of Parliament for Central and South Abaco, Mr. John H. W. Pinder II, was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation on September 23, 2021.

Mr. Pinder is a direct descendant of the first settlers of Hope Town and Cherokee Sound in Abaco. Not only is his heritage deeply nestled in The Bahama Islands, but his heart and passion reside within the community of Great Abaco, where he has been an active member since a young age including serving on the District Local Government as Deputy Chief Councillor.

For several years, Mr. Pinder ventured abroad to further his education and broaden his understanding of the world beyond our island paradise. While overseas, he studied International Business & Finance in Florida and London, England. He received his Series 3 National Futures & Commodities Broker License and Bahamas Real Estate License. He is an entrepreneur and has held different positions in the hospitality industry in multiple countries. These experiences have sharpened Mr. Pinder’s skills in logistics, management, sales and marketing.

Whenever time permits, this native son of Abaco can be found engaging in his favorite pastimes: sailing modern and traditional sailboats with his wife and two young children.
