    Food and Beverage Manager

    From the kettles and moraines of southeastern Wisconsin, the driftless bluffs of Southwestern Wisconsin, and atop the snowy peaks of the Siskiyou Mountains in Oregon, John has maintained a passion for Wisconsin sports and culture wherever he goes.  After nearly a decade on the West Coast, John has returned to the southern portion of our fair state. With deep family roots in both Middleton and Cross Plains, he celebrates the sporting traditions of western Dane County. When John isn’t working to keep the Sidelines kitchen stocked with delicious food and drink, he enjoys stomping around any of the wonderful disc golf courses found around town and checking out new and different restaurants across the state.
