“As a manager of people, John always puts his people first. He's a boss you can trust, which is the cornerstone for an employee's job satisfaction in my opinion. As a security practice leader, John is knowledgeable and always strives to learn more and identify new and improved ways of getting the job done, while looking to fine tune the mature practices in place. Finally, John is fun to be around, which makes hard work more enjoyable. He's one of the best people I've ever worked for or with.”
