“John must have written 60 different 3Com co-op ads for us back in the '90s tech boom. I'm a technology geek, but after a point it can be hard to find clever ways to rave about Ethernet and 16-port switches (remember when that was state-of-the-art?). We've kept our writing in house for the last 8-9 years, but if we needed help, John would be the first writer I would call. Very talented guy, always inspired, and ALWAYS on time.”

EVVY Awards judge - advertising, marketing campaign, social advocacy, and short video categories
Emerson College
- Present 12 years
Education
Judging student advertising and marketing work is one of the best ways to (a) stay on top of emerging trends in communication, (b) help ground the advertising creatives of tomorrow in old-school fundamental disciplines (yes! typography is important!), and (c) energize my own creative work. Like most volunteers, I feel I receive more than I give.

"The San Diego City College anthropology department’s archaeology program has given new and returning students the opportunity to engage in a profession that contributes knowledge about changes in human culture and behavior over time and across locations. The profession of archaeology requires persistence and commitment to many years of study. Many of the students who have participated in the archaeology program at San Diego City College have gone on to four-year universities and graduate schools. Many members of San Diego’s archaeological community got their start in this program. The goal of this scholarship is to encourage City College students to continue their studies in the field of archaeology. Students who have committed to the profession of archaeologist by completing the required classes with a high grade point average are encouraged to apply for these funds."
