John Corda was born and raised on a farm in California's Salinas Valley, where even today, his family continues to farm asparagus, lettuce and brocoli.  After receiving a Bachelor's Degree from UCLA in 1973, John relocated to the Lake Tahoe Basin and began working in the construction trade a few years later.

John and his wife of 31 years, Jan, have been fortunate enough to raise two daughters in Tahoe City.  Katie, 28, is employed with the County of Santa Barbara, and Lauren, 25, graduated from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego and recently passed her California Licensure Exam and will be practicing accupuncture in Tahoe City.  John is very active in the community and is grateful to spend time not only sailing on Lake Tahoe, but skiing around it all winter long.
