“I had the pleasure of working alongside John in our time together at Respawn. I've never met another technical writer so knowledgable and dedicated to the craft. In my experience, writing team priorities can shift without warning. No matter our current task set, John was on top of things. He excelled at plotting a best path forward, and reviewing our team process and output moment to moment. He always impressed me with his smooth adapting to change, showcasing his planning skills and flexibility. John also acted as the voice of our team, speaking up when we had concerns, and is great at listening, bridging people gaps, and offering solutions. He is immediately approachable, kind, and easy to talk to. And don't get him started on Monty Python! (Actually, please do.) What is clear is that John's been doing this sort of thing for a while, and is a font of knowledge, both practical and technical. I often sought him out for advice both work-related and otherwise. I give John my strongest recommendation as a colleague, leader, and Technical Writer.”

As part of my commitment to my tech writing career I joined STC and extended my membership from the Silicon Valley chapter to Las Vegas after moving here. I had the distinct honor and privilege of serving as the Southern Nevada chapter president during STC's 53rd annual conference held for the first (and only) time in Las Vegas. The work and effort to support the event was arduous and intense. Many at the conference remarked that chapters many times our size would have had a difficult time providing the quality of support our small chapter delivered. I am forever grateful for how the team came together and got the job done! It was a time of tremendous personal growth. I learned the value of volunteerism and what it meant to be a servant-leader for a group of dedicated professionals. I learned what it takes and what it means to give back to an organization that has supported the profession in which I've worked for many years. This time as chapter president reinforced leadership skills in delegation, project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and communication.

Club President, Area Governor
-I've always admired speakers who can deliver an eloquent, engaging, and entertaining message. I resolved to gain that skill. Who wouldn't want to be able to deliver a speech like Churchill, or Roosevelt, or King, or Kennedy? Or at least just to be able to stand in front of an audience without freaking out! Along the way, I had the honor of serving as a club president and an area governor. I won a few speech contests, too! The true benefit was learning and honing speaking skills and meeting…

Who wouldn't want to be able to deliver a speech like Churchill, or Roosevelt, or King, or Kennedy? Or at least just to be able to stand in front of an audience without freaking out! Along the way, I had the honor of serving as a club president and an area governor. I won a few speech contests, too! The true benefit was learning and honing speaking skills and meeting others committed to improving their public speaking abilities at the weekly club meetings and scheduled area and district events. And I thought leading tech writers was tough. Club President, Summerlin Toasters Area D4 Governor, District 33
