In 1997, John moved from NYC to Boston to work as a Creative/Art Director on three start-up companies with Internet giant, CMGi: InfoMation, Planet Direct, and the $100 million iCAST.com site for musicians and filmmakers. “John and I worked closely together at iCAST in order to launch that massive site as well as create innovative pages and showcases for the musicians and, with the Film Channel, video and filmmakers. He was a joy to work with and did some extremely tasteful work under the usual web time constraints of needing it three days ago. He taught me a great deal about humility and his easy-going approach to getting things done actually got things done through compromise, yet not comprising the essential design and artwork to "dumb it down.” - David Greenberg, Director of Marketing, Ted Kurland Associates.
