John Pham has lived in Oregon his entire life and has been a part of The La Salle Falconer for the past three years.

Having been suggested to sign up for Journalism by his freshman English teacher, he has since been made an editor for the Opinion section, and at one point even managed the Sports section despite having little interest in the subject. He looks forward to every Wednesday publishing night, having nothing better to do most weeks.

When not working on stories or photos for multimedia, he occupies himself by shopping for antiques and vinyl, learning tidbits of random trivia, and having a penchant for good urban planning.
