John Napier began the sport of bobsled in 1994, following in the footsteps of his father, Bill Napier, who was a bobsled driver from the 1960s through the 1980s. Napier's mom, Betsy, also drove bobsleds with her husband, before handing the D-rings over to her son in the Junior Bobsled Program. Between 2004 and 2006 Napier dominated the America's Cup circuit, winning the overall America's Cup title twice in 4-man and once in 2-man. He continued to climb in international rankings racing on the Europa Cup circuit during the 2006-2007 season and the World Cup circuit during the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons. Napier is the reigning 2009 National Champion in 2-man. Napier loves the summers in Lake Placid, N.Y., where he spends his off-season training for bobsled. In his free time, he is always looking for a new adventure, whether it be cliff jumping or riding his Suzuki JSX motorcycle. Napier is an engineer in the Army, and an athlete in the Army World Class Athlete Program.
