Born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, John Kiddy grew up enjoying all types of sports. He played high school volleyball at St. Thomas Aquinas High School and collegiate volleyball at the University of North Florida. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training from the University of North Florida and a Master's in Exercise Science from Florida Atlantic University (FAU). He has worked in the healthcare industry as an athletic trainer at the Cleveland Clinic Florida and was promoted to the Senior Athletic Trainer / Program Director of the Athletic Training Residency Program. “For the past 15 years, I have worked as an athletic trainer. I spent almost 10 years working at Florida Atlantic University as a collegiate athletic trainer (primarily with football). I was responsible for the health and well-being of the collegiate athletes.
During the past 7 years, I worked at the Cleveland Clinic Florida. I primarily worked with a non-operative sports-medicine physician managing the healthcare and well-being of his patients. I attained the position of a Senior Athletic Trainer. My greatest accomplishment has been teaching athletic training students. I’m proud to have built the Athletic Training Residency Program, and I oversaw all aspects of the program as the Program Director.” John’s experience in healthcare has helped him relate to his customers in Real Estate. “I understand people. I understand speaking with people to inquire about their specific needs. I know what it means to go above and beyond and treat all individuals as family.” Being a South Florida native, John appreciates the people, the culture, and the South Florida vibe. He knows the area, the schools, and the people. He enjoys talking to people and knowing their stories. He is compassionate and will go the extra mile for his clients. John truly is a best fit for Real Estate. He enjoys staying on top of the industry, interacting with people, and loves to win. John is of Scottish descent, and allegedly, his family fought with William Wallace. He enjoys being a dad to his young son, Matthew. “I am very passionate about my faith. Being a Christian defines my life.” John has traveled all over the United States, and his favorite cities to visit are Boston, Chicago, and New York City.
With such a quest to know people of other cultures, he is looking to expand his travels across the globe. Quote: “I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me.” (Philippians 4:13). The man in the Arena "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt.
