"Very grateful to John for being such an easy person to work with. An incredible and engaging speaker that our attendees really enjoyed."
-Colleen McCabe, Associate Director of Events and Education - National Association of Federal Credit Unions"John is part of our secret sauce to connect the human aspects of security at all of our five campus conferences."
-Todd Glover Director, IT Services - University of Massachusetts, MA"I liked John’s presentation because he teaches in a way that the average Joe, or normal people, can understand why they have to take care of their social reputation."
-Klaus Majewski, Director of Technology - Stonesoft, A McAfee Group Company"Thank you for providing the centerpiece event for our Information Security Awareness week. Your spirited, emotional and thought-provoking presentation was able to deliver a targeted message, which in turn generated excitement and discussion about Information Security among our senior staff and supervisors. It was exactly the kind of presentation that we were looking to provide to our audience."
-Fernando A. Reiser, Information Security Administrator - NJM Insurance Group"Based on our participant evaluations, it was evident you were the hit of our two day event. Your demeanor and story engaged our audience immediately and I believe all came away with some new techniques to help prevent identity theft. Your style was refreshing… I would highly recommend you to any of AARP’s staff and/or external partners I work with who are looking for a new, innovative way of addressing the problem of identity theft."
-Doris J. Gleason, Community Outreach Director - AARP"Timely! Who thought this incredibly hot topic could also be so much fun? Our attendees raved about John’s humorously interactive training style and how he applied it to such vital skills as fraud deflection, laptop protection, and safe social networking. Inspiring! We hired John because of his arresting personal story of surviving severe identity theft and data breach; we’d bring him back for his depth of knowledge, refreshing insights and engaging performance style. Vital! Now, more than ever, protecting one’s private information has direct consequences for their bottom line. If only one in a hundred people apply John’s suggestions the speech will have paid for itself in multiples. Lucky for our profession, the adoption of his ideas will be much higher than that."
-Justin Naples, President - The Institute of Internal Auditors"Your keynote presentation Think Like a Spy: Identity Theft Prevention was particularly well-received and a key reason why the vast majority of attendees expressed that this year’s conference was the best and most informative to date. Your personal experiences with identity theft and humorous approach to this serious subject gave attendees a keen insight as to how to prevent identity theft for Service members and families."
- Tommy T. Thomas, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense"John did an excellent presentation to help us teach our community about identity theft. His presentation was interactive, dynamic, the audience was really pleased, and after the presentation, they held him there for an hour asking great questions. We were thoroughly pleased with John, and we really enjoyed his presentation."
-Lynn Olavarria, Financial Readiness Program Manager - Fort Bragg, NC"John was fantastic, he was very engaging with our attendees. The thing that was great about the opener was he immediately had attendees speaking with each other, which was wonderful. They were immediately engaged. I would definitely invite John to speak again."
