John was a self-made man. He was a visionary an observationist and one of the most charitable individuals anyone ever met. If you met John, you remembered John, his sense of humor will go down in the history books. He met his love, and fell head over heels. They married with two beautiful children, who he adored. His kids were the reason he worked as hard at everything as he did. His family was his focus, he had a strong faith and began his business to protect his wife and children for their future; yet helping others was always in his thoughts. He was a Chef for many years but had a vision and started his business in 1997 with the help of his wife and his Right-Hand Man, Rafael.
