About Me

Initially, John had horrible luck in triathlons with two flats in his first two triathlons! Two busted rims later (had no idea how to fix a flat at the time) and countless hours of training in all conceivable weather, John has become addicted to the sport of triathlon. Upon entering UC Berkeley, John was faced with the dilemma of whether to run D1 track and Cross Country or continue his triathlon endeavors within the confines of a club sport. Despite the lack of school funding at Cal for the sport of triathlon, John fell in love with the camaraderie of the Triathlon team. To this day, he believes this is one of the best decisions he has ever made.

Currently a Senior Undergrad at the University of California at Berkeley majoring in Political Science, John is also a member of the USA U23 National and World Championships team. In 2008, John looks forward to gaining some experience on the ITU world cup circuit. When he is not studying or training, John enjoys surfing, music, coaching swimming and drinking way too much coffee.
