John grew up in Greece enjoying being the oldest son in a large Italian family. He relished stories made with lifelong friends growing up, especially during high school at Aquinas Institute. He served on the student council and played varsity sports. After graduating from AQ, he attended college in California and graduated from MCC. He strongly believed in pursuing an education that followed your passions. He performed in different plays while he was young, sparking his creative side that flourished throughout his life, most recently publishing motivational books after a lengthy career in the hospitality industry where he met many new friends.
He loved his family and friends with his entire heart and would not let anyone leave him without a smile on their face. One of his passions was to cook for all of his family.
