Bio
Alec Zuckerman
John is a superb teacher with a lot of hands on experience in Media-Communications. I learned an awful lot and it was a pleasure being in his class.
William Ferguson
John is the best teacher I have ever had the privilege to work with. I was a student in several of his philosophy and communication courses over several years during which he also became both a trusted adviser and respected mentor. Very insightful, engaging, and passionate about the impact he makes on a daily basis, John has, without a doubt, made a lasting difference in my life. He has my highest recommendation.
