Samuel G. Roberson+ played 4 years of football, 2 years of baseball, and 1 year of basketball while at Justin-Siena. He was a member of the 2000 North Coast Section Championship winning Football Team. Sam also performed in theatre while at Justin-Siena, graduating in 2001.

Sam defeated leukemia twice, early life, but went on to have a very full high school experience. After Justin-Siena, Sam attended Howard University and won the Outstanding Development as an Actor and Mr. Theatre Arts awards in 2005. Sam worked and performed at the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis from 2005-2008 and moved to Chicago in 2008 to continue his acting and theatre career. He used theater to deepen his civic and social justice engagement, performing in shows "The Ballad of Emmett Till", "Living Green", and "The Lost Boys of Sudan". Sam worked at the Congo Square, where he was named the Artistic Director. He directed shows such as, "Twisted Melodies", "The Oak Tree Runs Red", and his latest, "The Scottsboro Boys."

Sam’s crowning achievement in theatre was that he wrote a One Man Show called "And They Said I Wouldn't Make It". A play about his life with cancer that sold out in theatres nightly. He also wrote a play called "Same Difference" about college roommates coming from different backgrounds. Sam started a foundation called MP3, the Make Me a Match Foundation, where he campaigned to generate more bone marrow donors, particularly for African Americans. Unfortunately, health issues were a theme in Sam’s life and claimed his life last spring. Sam was the recipient of many awards in his 33 years of life, including the 3arts Award, TCG Young Artist of Color, and won a cultural community partnership grant. Sam, an actor, play writer, artistic director, and philanthropist, lived a survivor's life as a champion for himself and others and his legacy lives on in his work, his friends, and his family.

Giovanni Guerrera and Sean Pramuk graduated from Justin-Siena in 1988, not knowing that their story was just beginning. They have combined their talents and experiences over the years to better the community in which they work and live. Gio and Sean have used their expertise with food to provide much more than successful restaurants. Through their unique vision, they have combined culinary and business talent with a passion for helping others, designing a business model that not only thrives as a restaurant, but also as a professional training ground for for at-risk teens and young adults gain valuable skills as a means to improving their lives through hard work and commitment.

Giovanni Guerrera has worked in the kitchen since he was old enough to roll dough. He started at very young age working Sam’s House of Pizza, a restaurant on Jefferson Street that was owned by his parents. After graduating from Justin-Siena, he took over full operation of the restaurant, managing it until 2001, when he decided to reunite with his classmate from Justin-Siena, Sean Pramuk to form a business partnership. They purchased Uva Trattoria in downtown Napa, where they worked together until 2009, when Gio moved to Italy to work as a Sous Chef at the American Academy in Rome. As an instructor at Alice Water’s Rome Sustainable Food Project, Gio helped to prepare meals based on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, and was profoundly inspired by the results.

Sean Pramuk is the “front of the house” expert in this partnership. Since his graduation from Justin-Siena, Sean has worked at Piatti in Yountville, Sacramento, and Kauai, as well as at The French Laundry in Yountville. More recently, he worked at Frog’s Leap Winery in Rutherford. Sean managed the front of the house at Uva Trattoria, which he owned and operated with Gio from 2001-2009. Together, they made Uva Trattoria a destination for great food and entertainment. Gio reached out to Sean upon his return from Italy with the idea of creating a new business model. The successful result is Foodshed Pizza and Pasta, a restaurant that fulfills Sean’s need to be a part of a community oriented and ground-breaking project. They opened the restaurant in Napa’s Corporate Park in July, 2013 and remained there until 2015, when they moved to their more visible location, just off Trancas Street, on Old California Blvd, just a stone’s throw from the Justin-Siena campus.

The initial goal was to serve delicious, house-made food, while expanding opportunities for at-risk youth and aspiring young chefs. After only one year of operation, over two dozen applicants completed Foodshed's culinary internship program. Many of them secured employment in the local service industry (including at Foodshed), and some quickly earned promotions. Foodshed had also been featured in local and Bay Area press and contributed over $40,000 to local nonprofit “On The Move”. With amazing meals to go and catering for off-site events, Sean and Gio are popular members of the Napa community.
