In March 2012, John Bodine was recognized by 3M for his team's exceptional sales ability by winning their Regional Sales Contest in the category of Advanced Wound Care, as his hospital sales region attained the largest sales growth in 2011 as compared to 2010 sales.

An avid hiker and jogger, he explores local trails at least four times a week, including the Presidio and Golden Gate National Park. Mr. Bodine also competes in 10K runs, having finished fifth in his age category in the Los Gatos Jungle Run in July 2012. A tennis player since the 1960s and winner of two 3M doubles championships in the 1980s, he tries to work recreational tennis into his busy schedule as often as possible.
