When I heard the news that John won the award, I was very excited but not surprised at all.
My time on MOE, John was always there to help with everything and anything all the time. I have not had experiences with other teams as a student or mentor so I don't know how rare this might be but, John has literally a 365 day dedication to the students, the program's run by the team, MOE and FIRST its self. He has been and I know will always be, an amazing mentor and friend to everyone in FIRST. This award is long over due to recognize the efforts and sacrifices that he and his family have made to make the experiences, education and values of FIRST a major part of every student, mentor and parent that passes through MOE.
Congratulations John and thank you for everything you have done, continue to do and will keep doing for hopefully a very long time.
