Personal life

[edit]

John Dunlop is a fifth generation curler in his family.[4] His great-grandfather, John M. Dunlop, was born in Ayr, Scotland, and his forefathers curled there for many generations. So, John can trace his curling roots back to the country widely recognized as the origin of the sport as we know it today. John's family was involved in the founding of the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee Curling Clubs in Wisconsin.

He started curling in 1986 at the age of 11.[1]
