Their friendship persists to this day. Matt has decided recently to start attending classes at Northern Virginia Community College where he will pursue a career in computer science.
Paul Madsen - Paul and John met at Gonzaga but did not immediately hit it off because of differences in political opinion.

Jason McCrary - Also among John's circle of friends at Gonzaga, Jason and John grew close in part because they lived in the boon-docks far from Gonzaga (Manassass and Centreville, VA, respectively).
