In My Father's Kitchen

John Tumino


Syracuse Executives Association is honored to welcome John Tumino, Executive Director of In My Father’s Kitchen, as our Guest Speaker at our March 10th meeting! John will be speaking to us about how he built his business, focusing on this mission: “We do more than provide food and necessities—we walk alongside those we serve, building relationships that restore dignity and hope. Through food distribution, material support, and medical assistance, we break down barriers that keep people feeling invisible. Our team is present, engaged, and actively involved in the lives of our friends, advocating for them when they feel unheard.”

A little background info on John from his website: “Born and raised in Syracuse and a proud Fowler High grad, John went from the heat of the kitchen as a chef and restaurant owner to serving hope on the streets. He and his amazing wife Leigh-Ann co-founded IMFK in 2011, and they’ve been a dynamic duo ever since. Married since 1996, John’s true passion (besides great food!) is connecting with people and sparking conversations that lead to change.”

We thank Ron Long, Northside Collision, for extending the invitation to John for this speaking engagement!
