Vice President, Bank of Montreal and Elite Ultra Distance Runner
John Farris is a proud Texan who has called Fort Worth home since 2009. A graduate of Texas Christian University, he built his career in finance and currently serves as a commercial banker with Bank of Montreal. When he’s not lending to businesses, John enjoys a wide range of hobbies including running ultramarathons, skydiving, flying, rock climbing, and scuba diving. His running career has taken him around the world, from the coastlines of South Africa to the highlands of Scotland, the jungles of Costa Rica, and the mountains of Wales. He has completed six 100-mile ultramarathons, including the legendary Western States 100, as well as the Moab 240-mile ultra, where he placed 7th overall.
John is actively involved in the Fort Worth community, serving on the board of the Junior Activities Committee at the Fort Worth Club and participating in local initiatives. Running has become an important part of his life, providing both personal challenge and community connection. As a volunteer athlete for One Step Foundation, he is honored to support the organization’s mission and represent its values both on and off the course.
