Founder’s Story
John Allen Albert Jesubakthan has spent his career helping people rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. After earning his Master's in Social Work in 2007, he dedicated more than a decade to working with justice organizations across South Asia, helping rescue and support survivors of slavery and forced labor while strengthening families and communities.
Today, John is the founder of FSD USA, where he continues that mission by raising awareness and support to create lasting freedom for vulnerable communities. He lives in Orlando with his wife, Rachel, and their son, Isaac. When he's not advocating for FSD, you'll likely find him sharing his love of South Indian cuisine through John's South Indian Kitchen, a catering and pop-up food business inspired by his mother's recipes.
