John Naso
What I do for a living: I work at Jefferies, an investment bank, where I am an Equity Derivatives Sales Trader.
Why I choose to run New York with Herren Project:
I got sober almost 9 years ago when I was 22 years old. Overcoming addiction has been the biggest challenge I’ve faced in my life. Donating money to an organization that provides extensive resources to help people get sober and change their life felt like a no-brainer when I was picking a charity to support.
What I do for fun (besides running and helping others!):
Love any kind of exercise, love to travel, golf, hang with our puppy Lyla, try different restaurants, hang with friends and family.
What I’m most proud of:
I am most proud of getting sober and all of the other life changes I was able to make along the way. Running and exercise were a major outlet for me in my journey to recovery and I’m lucky to have the opportunity to merge the two to hopefully help pave the way for others.
