Previously, as a Software Engineer at Esri, he helped build ArcGIS Hub, maintained a handful of Leaflet plugins and coordinated with developers across the company to steer Open Source strategy. He has a tattoo of a California Raisin and when he's not in front of a computer you can often find him tangled up in poison oak somewhere near his bicycle.
John discovered the joys of commuting by bike on the friendly streets of Los Angeles in 2005. He served as a Director of the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen, a nonprofit, "Do It Yourself" repair shop and is also a qualified League Certified Instructor (#2307). John has taught bicycle repair, maintenance and safety classes all over California. He founded BikeBBQ in 2010 to take DIY bike maintenance to the streets of Redlands.
John received his B.S. in Geography from California Polytechnic University, Pomona in 2006. He has created maps and trained staff in the fields of environmental and geotechnical consulting and also in trailers at wildfires. He has been known to race road bikes in his free time, primarily so that he can eat 4,000 calories a day.
