John Giardino
President

A Colorado native, I grew up in the Denver area, went to dental school at Creighton University in Omaha, NE and practiced dentistry in Leadville for 30 years. My wife Erin and I moved to Denver in 2003 to be closer to our families - parents, siblings, kids and grandkids. Having retired from dentistry, I became an education advocate at the state and national levels, representing Colorado Mountain College and Colorado PTA. Failing miserably at retirement, I started my small woodworking business to keep me busy. However, my role in the Dante Alighieri Society keeps me plenty busy on its own!

Hobbies:
Two things; running and woodworking!
