Yes. The verb "ser" ("es") is only used to classify or define.

Thanks! I was about to ask why is this to the above answer, but then I saw your comment. :) - pieman34, Dec 18, 2010

Thanks to both of you! I did the literal translation in my head and got confused, since cómo means how, es is "is", and Juan is what the sentence is asking about. Thanks for your help!
