Orion Shining Star: John Tarr
John Tarr
Assistant Negotiator, Media Investment
Where are you from?
I grew up just over the border from New York City, in small Connecticut town called Bethel. Many people have told me it reminds them of the town from “Gilmore Girls.”
What college/university did you graduate?
I attended St. John’s University for a year and a half before transferring to UCONN – where I graduated. At first I studied journalism, but I eventually majored in Economics.
Your favorite bands/musicians?
I listen to a lot of different things, but David Bowie is probably my favorite. I put on “Heroes” and Low” every few days.
What’s your favorite movie?
It changes all the time, but the two movies that I can say are reliable favorites are “Harvey” with Jimmy Stewart and “Groundhog Day.”
If you could wake up tomorrow with one quality or ability what would it be?
I would love to be able to speak many different languages.
