Just Juan
I’m not your average guy. I’m a Black man, a Christian, a husband, a father, a gentleman, and an American diplomat…in that order. I manage facilities for a living and my degree in facility management makes me slightly better than most at it. I’m a veteran…I’ve risked my life for my country. I’m a really mellow-like free spirit…Southern-born, internationally cultured. I’m well-traveled…equally as educated too. I’m a thrill seeker…I test the limits of life often and I have a bucket list to prove it. I’m cool, calm, and collected most of the time…and something like a heatwave when I’m not. I’m a lover of the arts, sports, rail transit, subtitles, and a lot of other stuff. I’m a lot of things but I’m not an average guy.
