Welcome!! This page is dedicated to the life and thoughts of John Tegtmeier (a.k.a. Jahommie). I am currently enrolled as a student at UW-Eau Claire, where I am taking English 110 with Prof. Jerz.
Although college has significantly decreased the time I am able to spend with my family, I still enjoy going home for home cooked meals and line dancing with the siblings. "Good Times" showcases one of our rather embarrassing line dancing occasions.
A good chunk of my time is spent running and weight lifting for the indoor and outdoor track seasons. In fact, I have just completed my first indoor conference meet. Blugold's Track and Field displays our results. As a middle distance, 800 meter runner, I rely heavily on Middle Distance Runner for advice on training habits, and preparation for meets.
