About the Founder

Johnny Cordero

A hardworking man from Puerto Rico with big dreams and an even bigger heart — building opportunities so others can reach theirs.

Johnny Cordero, Founder of My Dreams Academy & Trade School
Johnny Cordero
Founder · My Dreams Academy & Trade School

Johnny Cordero grew up in Puerto Rico with a heart full of ambition. Life didn't allow him to finish school the way he wanted to — but it never stopped him from dreaming, working, and believing in something bigger.

"I couldn't finish school the way I wanted to. So I decided to build the kind of school I wish I'd had — one that helps other people's dreams come true."

As he grew older, Johnny realized that the experiences and successes he'd earned along the way could become a foundation for helping others. After building a career in real estate and launching several other business ventures, he set out to create something that would outlast any single deal: a place where people could change the direction of their lives through education.

That vision became My Dreams Academy — a school founded to make education more accessible and more affordable, so that opportunity wouldn't depend on where you started. Today, Johnny is expanding that mission through My Dreams Trade School, giving students the practical, hands-on skills they need to build stable, successful careers.

Heart for people

A school built on compassion — meeting students where they are and believing in where they can go.
