BIO
John, a native of Victoria, TX, and a graduate of Rice University, first came to Camp Ozark in 2007 as a summer staff Counselor and Videographer. Soon after graduation, John joined Ozark fulltime as the Director of Software and Website Development. He now maintains and develops the technology solutions that support camp operations not just for Ozark, but for all the businesses managed by Torn Family Camps. In this role, John has created advanced registration systems, camper scheduling systems, and so much more. John met his wife, Tiffany, at Camp Ozark in 2007. They were married in 2018 and have two sons, Jack and Ben, with another on the way!
MET & MARRIED
Tiffany and John met as summer staff members during their first summer at Ozark in 2007. For so long they thought they were complete opposites and would therefore never be the right fit for each other. Turns out, they were wrong! Ten years after they first met, when they were both on fulltime staff for Ozark, they finally saw what God knew all along: they were the perfect fit! Tiffany and John were married in 2018 in Houston, TX, and love continuing to serve the Camp Ozark mission together to this day.
