John Giardino
President

A Colorado native, I grew up in the Denver area, went to dental school at Creighton University in Omaha, NE and practiced dentistry in Leadville for 30 years. My wife Erin and I moved to Denver in 2003 to be closer to our families - parents, siblings, kids and grandkids. Having retired from dentistry, I became an education advocate at the state and national levels, representing Colorado Mountain College and Colorado PTA. Failing miserably at retirement, I started my small woodworking business to keep me busy. However, my role in the Dante Alighieri Society keeps me plenty busy on its own!

Hobbies:
Two things; running and woodworking!

Veronica Goodrich
Vice President

I'm a Founding Member of the Dante and have served as president, past president. I'm hoping someone will step-up to be vice-president next election because we need new people to get involved.

Hobbies:
Mushroom hunting.

Treasurer

I have always been proud of my Italian Heritage. I love to travel back to Italy and visit the family that still lives there. Whenever I am there it feels like being at home. I have been associated with the Dante Alighieri Society for the past four years taking Italian Language classes. When they asked me to help them and take over the Treasurer duties, I was excited to help them and give back to the Italian Community in any way possible. Ciao a tutti!!

Hobbies:
Like to golf, but really enjoy growing my own grapes and making wine from it.
