Pittsburgh native, John Malecki grew up wanting one thing; to play in the NFL for the Steelers. After a star high school, and college football career, John reached his goal and played for the Steelers on the active roster for about 2 years in 2012. 

With his NFL dreams fulfilled, Malecki soon realized he wasn't prepared for the "real word" and life after professional football. He found a passion for wood working while doing some DIY house projects, and ran with that. Since 2016 John has had his own YouTube channel sharing his love for building and learning new skills. 

Fast forward to present, a now new Father, he and his wife Sara are raising their daughter and navigating with no play book for parenting. John just hopes that his daughter turns out like her mother, and looks up to big strong dad.
