Greg is a computer/information science researcher at UCSB.  Growing up on the Santa Barbara Mesa in the 1970s, he walked to school (as did most kids at the time) and biked everywhere else.  Greg learned about COAST when he walked his children to Mountain View Elementary every day, an activity he loved but which also opened his eyes to the need for pedestrian safety and advocacy.  He served as Mountain View's and later Goleta Valley Junior High's Safe Routes to School (SR2S) champion, served on the COAST board for over 10 years, helped oversee the growth of the SR2S program from infancy to the robust county-wide program it is today, and helped facilitate the merger of COAST and SBBIKE.  He lives in the Goleta Valley area with his wife Pilar, where they are adjusting to being empty nesters.

John works at Flir as a Sr. Reliability Project Engineer while on the side addressing Floating Offshore Wind Energy needs. John's personal love of bicycles began when he and his sister saved up enough allowance at age 9 to buy their first 10-speed from the local variety drug store. During his paperboy days, he earned enough to get a top-of-the-line BMX racing bike and race. While attending UCSB, he was on the team that designed, built and competed on a recumbent aerodynamic fast human powered vehicle. Today, he bikes to work and around town, bikes with his family, and belongs to a mountain biking group. John began as an education volunteer with MOVE in 2012 and is excited to join in on the fun and challenge of helping MOVE continue to move forward.
