Biography[]
John Elvis Lara was born on January 10, 1992 in Fayetteville, NC. His middle name honors his late Uncle Steven, nicknamed Elvis. The son of a Korean National and a Mexican American, John was exposed to a lot of cultural diversity at a young age and loved it. John moved around a lot until the age of 10, when his father decided to settle in his old hometown of Rockport, Texas. He was homeschooled/private schooled until his 8th grade year, then attended Rockport-Fulton Middle School and Rockport-Fulton High School.
John excelled in academics and extracurricular activities. He always had an A average in all 4 years, and graduated in the class of 2010 with honors. He lettered in varsity cross country during his freshman year. An avid fan of boxing, he pursued this sport throughout high school. In his 8th grade year, John picked up skateboarding (a love he has to this day). He was also a lifeguard at the local pool for 3 years, becoming head lifeguard within 3 months.
