My name is Johnny, but people know me as Gator Johnny because for over 7 years I worked at an alligator park wrestling alligators.

I’ve been around 46 years, and ever since I can remember, I  valued helping people live, happier, more successful and more fulfilling lives by leading them to make better choices. I grew up in New Jersey, but moved to Florida to wrestle alligators. That is where I met my lovely wife Sheena, who I have been married to for over 15 years now. We have 3 beaufuil children and have what others like to call, a very happy and balanced life.

I went to college and have a BA in music performance. I have a natural gift on stage. There is something about speaking or singing in front of an audiance that just makes me come alive. I don’t need a script, I can just go. This is what makes me the ideal motivational speaker. I don’t rely on scripts to tell my story, I speak from the heart 100% of the time. I use my skills and can read the audance and know what direction the conversation needs to go in.

My coaching, motivational speaking, and workshops help to change self-sabotaging patterns and belief systems. My work is grounded in maintaining dignity, believing that each of us can change, improve and grow, regardless of the situation. We all have capabilities that we have yet to recognize and tap into. Depression, mental health, and susicide attempts are all products of what’s going on inside the mind. That is where I come in. Allow me to come to your next event. I speak at schools, colleges, work places, conventions, and many other places. Change the mindset, change your life!
