Johnny was raised in the city of San José and fondly remembers the orchards that stretched over so much of the city then. From George Minor Elementary School to Leonard Herman Middle School and on to Oak Grove High School , Johnny spent much of his youth exploring San José on his bicycle, going to the movies, or swimming at the Oak Grove pool.
After graduating from high school, Johnny went on to San José State University to earn his degree in Business Management and Communications. He used his education, knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit to start his own company, Western Benefit Solutions, where he was CEO. Johnny served over 200 private and business accounts as a financial advisor and personal manager.
Johnny is a devoted family man and 17 year resident of District 10 . He and his wife, Juliana, have made their home in Almaden with their two sons, Constantine and Alexander. Johnny and his family love spending their free time out in nature, enjoying the beauty of the Almaden and Santa Teresa Foothills.
Johnny is dedicated to attending all of the neighborhood and community association meetings in the district, as well as volunteering his time with organizations like Almaden Cares, Almaden Kiwanis, his sons' Boy Scout troop and the Martin Fontana Parks Association. Johnny is also the former chair of the Santa Clara County Human Relations Commission and the San José Small Business Development Commission.
