Stacey McCormack
It is my pleasure to whole-heartedly endorse John Chowning. John is driven, self-motivated and eager to learn. At The Oregonian, he was tasked with learning a variety of research tools and concepts, of which he mastered at a very quick pace. He is very effective both independently and collaboratively. You can depend on John to always go the extra mile to get the job done. He is respectful and helpful to others, with a great sense of humor. I'm confident John will be successful at whatever he puts his mind to.

John showed himself to be a quick study and a natural leader when I hired him to help me launch 19 community newspapers in the greater Phoenix area in less than 18 months. He proved able at planning and execution. He was greatly respected by his peers and, more importantly, our customer base. He is one of the best hires I've ever made. Any company would be lucky to have him on its team.
