John Caruso

John’s diverse background, creative mindset, and love of food all culminated in his position at Catering By Michaels. Living the “liberal arts life,” John has worked as a photographer, a small business owner, a writer, a teacher, an actor, and a not-for-profit executive. He shot a cookbook and is working on a second. He taught creative writing, wrote a yet-to-be-published novel, and was a contributor and administrator for two online writing websites. And along the way, he spent nearly 25 years bringing messages of kindness, respect, and awareness to students across Chicagoland. Now, John channels his creative energies into celebrating the sights, sounds, and wonderful flavors of Catering by Michaels.
