There are a lot of things that can be said about John but the first thing that comes to mind is how humble he is. John has been doing .com in his garage for a few years and one of our close friends brought him in for our Grand Opening. From that moment on, John has been destroying everything we put in his path. Previous to one-arm Isabel, John had performed one snatch with one-arm. It was with 95 pounds. We said it would be cool if he could do one-armed Isabel and less than a week later, you saw the video. His determination is unquestionable and his smile never leaves. It is a pleasure to train him and train with him as we are constantly seeing how far the envelope can be pushed. A lot of the numbers that you see were obtained in a completely non-competitive nature. It will be interesting to see how far he can progress when others are in the mix. Good luck John, you make all of us proud.

John is an animal. He is also one of the nicest, humblest, kindest people in the box. He is ALWAYS smiling. I can't wait to see him tear it up at sectionals.

Okay...so i went to workout with the KOP crew last week and had the pleasure to meet John..i've been xfitting for almost 2 years and competed in the 2009 regionals..not once did i see someone throw weight around like this dude..seriously he is a beast and at the end of the workout he was all smiles and as humble as can be. I hate to say this, but there are only 19 spots open for regionals coming out of our sectional (he takes a spot, for those not picking up what im putting down)..this guy is amazing to watch..see you at sectionals John..
