Colleagues describe him as "I worked with John over many years, starting at MicroAge in Sunnyvale as a service technician, and then at Netcon. John was a manager, but very hands-on. We all did everything involved in selling networks and computers: bidding service agreements; selling systems; pulling Ethernet cable; building PCs from components; designing the networks, administering Novell and Windows NT servers; converting several large networks (300+ workstations and servers) to IP-based networking; and so on. The project sizes ranged from a single PC to multi-month conversion engagements, involving large teams of technicians.
He is a very dedicated, hard worker, with an extremely strong grasp of networking technologies and protocols, and a very wide range of operating systems knowledge, including all versions of Windows both server and workstation, and a variety of network hardware and systems, from switches and routers to firewalls. As the primary consultant at Web Habitat, he not only managed the company, but performed as project manager, lead architech, and lead engineer on many client engagements.
John is an excellent planner. He prefers to layout and troubleshoot problems or opportunities, investigate any grey areas, and test, test, and test. He consistently came up with new ways of looking at problems, or doing processes that were cheaper, or faster, or more efficient, even in incredibly complicated mixed environments, with a wide variety of technologies in place.
He keeps abreast of new technology, constantly updating his skillset as times and practices change. He has a very good instinct for getting to the root causes of problems, and solving them.
As a manager, he always treated the people under him fairly, with patience when someone ran into a problem that they couldn't handle right away, and was supportive if issues arose between employees and upper management.
I would not hesitate to work with John again as a colleague, or with him as my manager." and "When it comes to complex systems, John is the man. John has a very engaging style, enthusiastic and energetic. His vibrant ebullience is infectious as he motivates those who work with him to strive for what might be possible.
