John is a very open minded, people oriented, honest and hard working guy, someone of great character. He has really meant a lot for many entrepreneurs he has been coaching in his free time as well.

I had the opportunity to work with John over a 2 year period. John does a great job keeping people on task without it being tyrannical. John not only motivates in a direct but gentle way, but also can prompt and guide those he leads in a direction that is best for them and the organization. This successful guidance is a combination of his experience and the talents of those he leads. John has a special way of blending his experience and others' talents. This unique blend is rare, yet John possesses it well. John will be a great asset to an organization looking to grow and move forward.
