John has been competively sailing dinghy sailboats for the past two years in the Marina Del Rey area. He is currently a US Sailing certified sailing instructor at the UCLA Marine Aquatic Center.

John was invited to join Teaser's crew when they were a little short for a few weeks. He provided some entertainment for the crew by mentioning he'd never sailed with a spinnaker before (egad!). He has now worked his way up to the foredeck under the watchfull eyes of the masters, Mark and Angel. He is also having alot of fun along the way!
