Johnnie Calloway

From growing up living in a homeless shelter to now giving his kids the childhood he only ever dreamed of, Johnnie Calloway’s experiences both good and bad have led him to take control of his life to have a bigger say in not only his but now the outcomes of that of his children. He has for the majority of his adult life, gave his efforts to the IT space – most recently working in the Technology Department at the private school his kids attended. When he isn’t taking apart or fixing gadgets, you could find him at the closest gym or basketball court – working out, training or coaching or maybe reading another book to add to his repertoire of knowledge.
