About the judge

There's not much he hasn't seen, including covering three Winter Olympics, several Super Bowls, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, for which he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. When on assignment shooting icebergs in the North Atlantic, he had an opportunity to fly an Air Force C-135. He crashed in a hot-air balloon race that took off from Foxborough when the basket hit the top of a tall pine tree off Interstate 95. He also took the last known photo of fugitive Whitey Bulger wearing a white Red Sox baseball cap. John is a graduate of Boston University, magna cum laude from the College of Communication. He resides on the South Shore with his wife, Debra.
