John has
a unique blend of practical experience and vast technical knowledge of the
sport of motorcycling. Himself a veteran roadracer, he brings an insight
to the sport that attracts and ‘pulls in’ the spectator to every
event.
|
|
| John was born & raised on a farm in Northern VT, his upbringing instilling in him a genuine love and respect for the people around him. John's early years were spent in scholastic and extra-curricular activities such as FFA (Future Farmers of America), which taught him how to present and propose concepts to a public audience.
|
|
| After
High School, John enlisted in the Air Force and it was there
that he fostered his love for the sport of motorcycling.
His first bike was a Honda CB360T, on which he quickly learned
to ride and also wrench, being, in his own words, ‘too
poor not to’. His riding adventures and natural talent
led him to undertake amateur roadracing in 1986 with the
AFM, where he quickly became known as a local ‘fast
guy’ on 2-stroke, race only Yamaha TZ-series bikes.
When he sustained an injury due to a crash in early 1988,
John simply could not stay away from the track and began
his career as an event announcer/color-man and quickly became
known as ‘the Voice of the AFM’.
