**John, please provide a short bio.**

I’ve been in the ad/design business for upwards of 30 years. I’m the Associate Creative Director at Buffalo.Agency in Reston and a lucky guy who gets to work with people who consistently exceed my every expectation. They have boundless energy, creativity and talent. I’d pinch myself but I’m afraid I may wake up from a really great dream. They are truly an all-star team.

**Are you involved in any other organizations?**

I’m not really much of joiner which is probably kind of a bad thing. Maybe if someone starts a club for people who don’t join clubs, I’ll join that. No guarantees though.

**What are the things you are most proud of?**

My wife and two daughters. I’m most proud of them. I wouldn’t be anywhere or be able to do anything without them.

**Who have been your personal role models?**

My brother and my father-in-law. Both are people of incredible integrity and character. They are what I strive to be.

**Did they offer professional advice that helped you in your career?**

Take chances. Be willing to fail. Think of others first.

**What professional advice do you have for others?**

Know the rules. And how to break them.

**What’s on your Spotify and Pandora playlists?**

A collection of Blues from Chess Records, and a lot of old Motown stuff and The Beatles. I gotta have The Beatles.

**What’s your favorite restaurant?**

I’m always on the hunt for a truly great burger. Right now I like Melt in Leesburg. Mmmmm.
