His father was a military background and was an absolute renaissance man, while his mother retired from her career to raise he and his brother, showing true commitment and care. He grew up battling Tourettes syndrome, which threw numerous obstacles at him all throughout his adolescence. Still, he was always active and involved with many sports, including Skateboarding and Basketball.
John Francisco
John grew up in Jacksonville, Florida with a twin brother and younger sister. He describes his parents as hard working blue collar people. His father is a plumber and his mother loves animals. When he was growing up, John would have to clean up after them as punishment. He credits this as the reason he’s not fond of pets as an adult. He also spend many summers working with his father in the attic during repipes. After floundering around for a couple years post high school, John met his girlfriend (now wife), Marybeth. It was she who convinced him to work for Chick-fil-A.
