John Ohnstad is a Portland, Oregon based businessman, bass trombonist, and cyclist.  I originally met John as a summer long performer at Disney World where we played together in the All-American College Orchestra.  John has made a career for himself in Portland, and he has done so while dividing his time between his business and musical careers.  John is one of the only people I know who spent any significant time studying with the late George Roberts.  John can regularly be found performing with the Rose City Trombones, the Portland-Columbia Symphony, the Art Abrams Swing Machine Big Band, and the Big Horn Brass.  John is also an avid cyclist and cycling instructor in Portland.
