About Jon »

My name is Jon Girten, I am a 22-year old college student currently residing in San Diego, California where I've spent most of my life. Sports are my biggest passion, from playing high school sports, to playing college volleyball, to coaching a volleyball team. The main sports I follow are Basketball, Football, and Baseball. I love all teams local including the Padres, Chargers, Lakers, USC... but despise UCLA (obviously), and the Dodgers. I tend to be fairly lazy when it comes to things like this but hopefully I can get it going!
