‘In a word WOW,

John does a ton of stuff above and beyond events, but I know him from AMD events: the AMD tech tour and the AMD Executive Forum events. These are not just good events; these are effective events resulting in business results.”

John always brought a ton of credibility, work ethic, experience, results and fun to whatever we worked on. He built programs that drove revenue and share gains and had the discipline to track and manage the ROI of these activities. John’s a class act and a true professional.”

“John has a rare combination of skills and work ethic. He is extremely knowledgeable about his field, highly reliable and one of the most committed to success individuals I’ve met in a long time. There was no project too big, task to onerous, or delivery date too soon. John always found a way of getting things done, on time and with great quality and professionalism. Any team John joins would be inheriting a very valuable asset.” November 9, 2011

“John hired me to host a traveling show for AMD called the North American Tech Tour. From 2003-2008 we ran eight successful tours and delivered over 100 shows all over the continent. During that time, I came to admire how John created these tours out of thin air. With limited resources and even less time, he’d line up sponsors, book venues, book AMD staffers to speak, create themes (and the games, costumes and set designs to go with them), and just about everything else. During the tours, he’d help the crew unload and set up, man the registration desk, run our 6-hour show (for as many as a thousand eager attendees), and help the crew break down long after I’d headed off to bed. He did this week after week, city after city, show after show. It was something to see.

John’s work ethic isn’t just strong, it’s superhuman. He is a hands-on force of nature who manages to keep smiling as he manages the vast complexities (and constant surprises) of his working world. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone smart enough to see his incredible value.”
