Learn how you can find success through confidence, determination, and hard work. Having confidence in our ability to learn, adjust and execute is crucial, especially during those times of trial. 

 

After receiving his associates in culinary arts, Johnny  became a part of the inaugural staff when Hoppy Gnome opened and eventually became the executive chef at the opening of Proximo. Despite having a lot of experience and achieving so much at a young age, Johnny felt an itch he just couldn’t ignore. He took a leap of faith and bought an old truck in Indianapolis. That truck would eventually become the beginning of his entrepreneurial career.
