We will be cheering on fellow civil engineer and Olympic curler, John Landsteiner, in the coming weeks at the Sochi Olympics.

Landsteiner is a 23-year-old based out of Duluth, Minnesota who is making his Olympic debut, playing the position of "lead" on the U.S. men's curling rink that qualified for the Olympics in December, 2013, after the U.S. had not been guaranteed to have a men's curling team that qualified to be in the Sochi Olympics. Landsteiner is also a civil engineer who manages energy pipeline projects across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
