Description

John Moran was an American professional beach volleyball player. He has played with a slew of partners, and it seems that he has hit every possible stop the regionals and National scene has to offer. From the AVP to the NVL, to NORCECA, to the Motherlode, his prosperity at every level has been well-documented, which pales in comparison to how much he is well-loved by his contemporaries, fans and pundits alike. One can only speculate how he did this and a full-time job logistics and a start-up in a 24-hour day.
