About John:
After discovering kayaking in Wisconsin, John moved to Tennessee to work for Jackson Kayak. He soon found himself paddling daily with the biggest names in whitewater kayaking. Paddling more than 300 days a year, John traveled with his kayak to beautiful places like West Virginia, Oregon and South America. He eventually found his way back to Wisconsin to start his own organic vegetable farm. He still is reigning Champion of the Midwest Freestyle Championships for the past 10 years! Now he finds most enjoyment teaching others how to reach their goals in kayaking. Look forward to seeing you on the water!
