Hi, my name is John and this is my second year as a mentor with the team. I actually graduated from Perry in 1986 and there wasn’t a program like FIRST around back then.  I have spent the last 15 years as the IT Manager at a Civil Engineering firm here in Indianapolis and I have been with that same company for 20 years.  Prior to that I spent 2 years after college shooting and producing TV commercials around Indiana for local cable advertising after obtaining a degree in Radio and TV production. I look forward to helping the students put together videos for both the competition and to be shown at school to let the rest of the student body know what they are doing.
