About Johnny
Growing up on the upper west side of New York City, Johnny developed a curiosity and dedication to hard work that continues to be a driving force in his life today. When, at the age of 9, his curious nature got the best of him, Johnny chose to skip school to find out what the adults did while he was in 3rd grade. His parents then sent him to Carson Long Military Academy for the next 7 years before coming to Penn State University, where he studied Business and Spanish.
