As President of Coors Brewing Company, I worked with John for almost ten years.  He was a fine asset to our company, an enthusiastic contributor to our community, and a good friend.

I value John’s leadership, strategic guidance, and integrity.  John brings passion and objectivity to critical legal issues facing the business.   He has the ability to simplify the complex and provide business solutions to legal issues.   John is a non-territorial team player who is focused on the success of the business.  He takes charge of an issue, brings a calmness and clarity to a crisis, and drives for results.

I believe that he would be an excellent contributor as a member of any company/team."

While John is always focused on the most complete legal advice he is always mindful of cost. He is a person of extraordinary character with a warm and engaging personality, suiting him well as he adapts to different individuals and teams, and their unique needs. I have the utmost of trust and respect for John."
