As a person

John resides in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, Lindsey, their daughter, Lilah, their sons, Jack and James, and their French Brittany Spaniel, Gracie. John inherited his father’s love of the outdoors. Together, they have spent many afternoons on the salt flats around Rockport in search of speckled trout and redfish, or in the South Texas brush country hunting the elusive “Muy Grande.” John is also an avid golfer who has spent a great deal of time battling the pull hooks.
