John Ringor
Staff Writer, Chicago
Though John was born in the Philippines and was a temporary New Yorker for college, he’s lived in Chicago the majority of his life. Chicago has instilled in him an appreciation for good food, and cultivated his incredible tolerance for unpredictable weather. Before joining the Infatuation as a Chicago Staff Writer, John was performing on stages in the Netherlands, South Korea, and at Carnegie Hall as a professional triangle player. Nowadays, he spends most of his time eating at restaurants, dreaming about the perfect cinnamon roll, and filling his camera roll with way too many videos of pasta twirls—but he still continues to hone his triangle skills.
