“Have had the pleasure of knowing and working with John at Sparkcentral for several years now and he continues to up-level everyone around him. With dynamic workmanship and passion for his craft, John consistently shows a keen ability to take on the role of student and teacher. His sharp sense for business undoubtedly helped him close deals with some of the top brands in the world, but it is his communication and personability that allowed him to create long-lasting relationships with each one of them.”
