I worked for John for a couple years and found him to be one of the most creative PR people in the industry. He was always pushing us to come up with innovative approaches and some of the best ideas I've had, I came up with while on his team. He's also an excellent writer and great with the media. We're on different teams now and I still ping him occasionally for advice and a sanity check!
