Meet John:

I was born and raised in Stuart, FL and attended the University of Central Florida where I graduated with a BA in Social Science Education. Shortly after that I moved to Salaya, Thailand, a small town just outside of Bangkok, where I taught English to Thai high school students. I was in SE Asia just shy of a year and realized it was time to move back to the States and find my first teaching job in the social studies field. After applying to well over 20 schools all around the US, things came full circle for me and I was hired at the rival high school of my own alma mater. I moved back to FL in August 2015 and I've been teaching 10th grade world history there ever since. 

 

Outside of teaching my world history curriculum, I put enormous focus on educating my students on various tenants of emotional intelligence. This focus includes their ability to use proper perspective and discernment, to practice gratitude, to lead a purpose-driven life, to cultivate empathy, to access critical thinking skills, and to develop poise as a result of having a strong values system. The intention of this is to enrich their lives and develop these wellness tools before they graduate and begin to operate in the type of world we have today. 

 

In 2017 I came to the realization that there is an evident and abundant lack of emotional intelligence in our public school system (and as a result, much of adult society as well), so I began to transpose these themes into a book to create something that would benefit people of all ages. In August 2020, The Personal Wellness Principles: Simple Steps to Create a Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Life was published.

 

Today I'm still teaching, but also actively growing my life coaching business and working towards making my book a household name. I'm a partner out at a farm where we sell rare and exotic fruit trees and install edible landscaping permaculture systems that enable people and families to grow multitudes of produce on their very own property. I'm very passionate about encouraging people to use their land wisely and grow their own food, slowly and surely eliminating their reliance on grocery stores and having home-access to fresh and organic food right from their own yard.
