Why Hire John?

John is incredibly easy to work with. No prima donna attitude, just down to earth, easy going and low stress.

John is humorous, sometimes silly, and yet highly effective at closing the loop between education and entertainment.

As John is waiting to take the stage, he always takes his sacred pledge: “I promise I will NEVER read a PowerPoint from the screen to a group of professionals.” Learning comes best from discussion and interaction, and John has mastered this art.

John comes ready to work. He carries a WIDE range of cords, plugs, tape, pointers, markers, and what feels like an entire tech lab in his backpack. Like a Boy Scout, his motto is “Be Prepared!”

John is a huge sci-fi/fantasy geek and will bring his Star Trek Enterprise pizza cutter or Lord Of The Rings laser pointer he nicknamed “The Eye of Sauron” if requested.

John understands you are marketing partners and will help fill your classes by promoting them through social media engagement, introductory, and student review videos.

John believes that early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable for a speaker. He will show and get it done!

Before speaking, John also takes a second sacred pledge: “I promise I will NEVER hawk merchandise, coaching, or cutlery closing gifts when anywhere within 25,000 miles of your location.”

Although he has South Side Irish Chicago heritage, via County Clare, Ireland, John can be either a Cubs or White Sox fan upon request, if it helps with booking engagements.

John is in the Chicago area. This central location allows John to reach every corner of the globe quickly and efficiently, saving on travel budgets for his clients. He is also willing to bring flash frozen Chicago style pizza upon request.
