Personal Background
J.T. lives in St. Peters with his wife, Siham, and children, ages 2 and 4. As a family, they enjoy being active, traveling, and experiencing great food. They periodically travel to spend time with Sisi’s family in Germany, Morocco, and Tunisia, and they love to explore other new places in the world together. J.T. grew up playing football and continued playing at the college level as an offensive lineman. He says that’s where he learned his “grit,” as well as how to work effectively as a team. In his free time, he enjoys bodybuilding, history, and going to Lake Saint Louis to be with the rest of the family whenever possible. J.T. is also a certified personal trainer. He wants to help people in any way possible and believes health and wealth are a good place to start in trying to optimize one’s life.
