Biography:
John Juanda is 33 years old and lives in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Indonesia, John didn't come to the U.S. until 1990, when he enrolled at Oklahoma State University. He went on to earn his MBA from the University of Seattle.
A bit of a chameleon, John was a high school track star for distances ranging from 200 meter sprints to 5000 meter races. He also made a name for himself as a door to door salesman, earning awards for his skill as a bible salesman. If he ever tires of poker, John is considering medicine as his next career.
Although, as the 2002 tournament Champion of the Year, and with 3 WSOP titles, and a WPO Championship title under his belt, John's not likely to tire of poker anytime soon.
