About John Patrick

Hello! My name is John Kerwick, I have been in the financial services industry for over two years. Prior to my career in finance, I gained valuable experience in asset management and even ventured into the golf industry. These diverse opportunities helped shape my perspective and fueled my passion for personal and professional growth.

My journey toward wellness began during my freshman year of college. Like many young adults transitioning to independence, I faced a new world of choices—from academics to lifestyle habits. However, I found myself adopting less-than-ideal eating habits, leading to a weight gain of nearly 25 pounds and struggling academically. In 2020, I made a pivotal life change, prioritizing balance and self-discipline, and began earning Dean's List honors consecutively.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, it became clear how critical wellness is to overall health and resilience. This global challenge sparked a transformation in me, and I began prioritizing a holistic approach to wellness—combining fitness, nutrition, and mental health.

As I embraced my wellness journey, I naturally became a resource for friends at college who sought guidance on fitness routines and meal planning. Seeing their progress and newfound confidence inspired me to formalize this passion into something more meaningful, and that’s how the idea of FlourishU was born.
