Owner & RPh
John was born and raised in Menomonee Falls, WI. He received his Pharmacy degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1982. He and Donna lived in the Milwaukee area until John had an opportunity to become the Director of Pharmacy for Drug Emporium in Appleton, WI. In 1990, John moved to Manitowoc and became the manager of the pharmacy in Wal-Mart. His next move, and where his compounding career really took off, was when he took over Aurora Pharmacy. When owned by Frank Stange, the pharmacy was a compounding pharmacy and a member of PCCA. They were still doing a few compounded medications when John took over, and he found this to be an enjoyable way to practice pharmacy. That experience helped John decide to open his own compounding only Pharmacy. John has completed extensive education and training. After his education in pharmacy in Madison, he continued his training with the American College of Apothecaries and PCCA. John holds certificates in Compounding, Women’s Health and Diabetes. John has been compounding throughout his 40-year career but has been compounding extensively for 20 years. For relaxation, John likes to bike, photography and work on his computer. His favorite TV show is Blue Bloods. John is currently a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Elks Club in Manitowoc.

She now calls Green Bay her home.
As an enrolled member of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (Lake Superior Band of Chippewa) of Upper Michigan, Kymberly approaches healing from a whole body and mind perspective. She states, “In native culture we address the spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual aspects of the body. This is where alternative, integrative and functional medicine approaches align more with my views on health and wellness.”
Kymberly’s unique medical journey and story led her to seeking out and working with Custom Health Pharmacy. After years of struggling with digestive issues, Endometriosis, and a number of surgeries, she found true body healing in integrative medicine practices and lifestyle choices. She happily shares her story and medical traumas in hopes that it will help others and she can be a resource for those seeking wellness. Kymberly’s experiences allow her to deeply empathize with patients and make recommendations as a healthcare professional with the patient, family member, or friend in mind.
“I am invested in having family, friends and community members feel their best so they can achieve their highest potential and live lives full of vibrancy and happiness! Something that sets me apart is I consistently practice what I preach with healthy lifestyle habits so I can feel energized and ready to give patients the best care. It brings me great joy to continually share my knowledge to help others heal.”
In her free time Kymberly enjoys cooking, training and competing in triathlons, and reading. The rigorous demands of preparing for triathlon races have allowed Kymberly to understand the importance of balance and well-being throughout whole body systems. She realizes the significance of whole food nutrition, hormone balance, supplementation, meditation and other forms of mindfulness. Kymberly looks forward to working with patients to optimize their health through specialization in hormone balance and various other integrative medicine approaches. We invite you to come visit her at Custom Health Pharmacy or schedule a one-on-one consultation!
