Career
Elementary
John's first foray into quiz bowl was in the 5th grade, when he won the 2018 Chicago Regional National History Bee - he would go on to win the next two years as well.
In 2018, John was a quarterfinalist in the elementary division of the National History Bee and won the International Geography Bee (IGB).
Middle school
In 2019, he placed 2nd at both the middle school National History Bee and the middle school National History Bowl and was a finalist at the IGB.
In 2020, he was placed 7th at the Bee, 6th at the Bowl, and 3rd at the IGB. He was also a finalist in the US History Bee and US Academic Bee.
Throughout his career, John has primarily played in the bee format, often playing team events like bowl and standard quiz bowl solo as well. In May 2020, John was mentioned on episode 12 ("Rise of the Terminators") of the quiz bowl podcast "For 10 Points", where hosts Ken Romeo and Andrew Turriago named him as an example of the title "terminator": an individual player who dominates a tournament.
