I have been an active triathlete since 1987. I have had the opportunity to compete in 275+ events around the USA and several countries abroad, which has given me a better awareness of the multisport environment in many different locations. This is my fifth term on the USAT SMW Regional Council. My first two terms were in the late 1990’s, and included one year as President. I feel that this past experience will enable me to be productive on the current Board, and, hopefully, provide some productive results for the benefit of the SMW Region. I am currently an active member of two multisport clubs. I feel that clubs can and should provide a strong, supportive environment for individuals in the multisport arena and can be a leading force in promoting multisport awareness to communities through training sessions, information sessions and community events. I support the Region’s strong involvement in Youth activities and events, and intend to press for greater Youth awareness and participation during my tenure.

John's current term expires in 2013.
