That is great to hear. Congratulations to John, couldnt have happened to a better guy. John is a truly dedicated lifter that embodies everything that is great about our sport. JV is quiet and unassuming and always has a quick kind word and time to help younger lifters in the gym or at a meet. I trained with John and Byron a few years back--at the fire station, listening over and over to Heart!!--and we never failed to not only have a great time but also set some PB's along the way. JV has inspired me, personally, not only in my lifting, but more importantly in my Christian walk. Kudos to his 'primary' training partner, Melinda, too on this record.
