Hello. I’m John Baptist Ferrara named after my notorious grandfather from Italy. I grew up in the Philly suburbs in the 60s with my brother Joe and my sisters Karen, Ann (Sandy) and Lori. A lot of my teen life was playing guitar and wanting to be a rockstar. As it turned out, dishwashing turned into a cooking career until I finally realized after my mid-20s that really wanted to be a software engineer. Once I realized what I wanted, I pursued it with a passion. I married quite late at 35 and at 36 had a beautiful daughter Alicia.
