John is a natural relationship builder with both clients and candidates. His loyalty and hard work is unquestioned. John would be an asset to any organization and I am glad to have had him be a part of mine.

John taught in a blended format (using Blackboard and face to face) to adult/non-traditional students seeking their BBA from McKendree University. He was very professional and worked well with the students providing them with an outstanding learning experience.
