Career RePORT encourages all students and educators to submit questions you want to ask a Port of Los Angeles employee: what kind of job they do at the Port, how they entered their career field, who their favorite superhero is, or what they made for dinner last night.

This episode features John Mayer, Port Pilot. In his role, John:
- Drives the 400-meter container ships containing goods in and out of the Port every day.
- Safely navigates the cruise ships that are transitioning to and from the Port's cruise terminal.

Three fun facts about John:
- He is happily married to his beautiful wife, Chelsea, and has four sons.
- He is an avid fisherman.
- By the time he was 21, he had sailed around the entire world.
