John is currently a senior at Gonzaga, and has applied to go to Fairfield University. At Gonzaga, he is a member of the Young Republicans and Stock Market Clubs, plus a 4 year lacrosse player. He is a competition level mountain biker, and has been a top salesman for Bikes USA for 4 years. He was a Senate Page in 1995, and has been an Altar Server at St. Agnes since 1990. His Eagle Project was planting about 115 new trees at the King Street/I-395 intersection, essentially re-doing a previously failed attempt by Fairfax Re-Leaf. At last check, the trees were doing quite well, despite the tough summer. A project to come see again in 10, 25 and 50 years! Eagle Scout #56 in Troop History, plus the record fifth in one year (1997), beating the previous record of four established in both 1966 and 1968.
