Personal
John has lived around the world, but his parents and cousins all grew up in the Boston area – which explains his lifelong passion for the Red Sox (shared by his dog named after Mookie Betts). John is the proud father of three grown children and is using his empty nester time to further his interest in golf, hiking and extreme levels of foodie experimentation. John is an avid reader and enjoys sharing his book ideas with others – but is cognizant that most people actually care more about what his wife is reading lately.
