Leadership Futurist | Neuroscience Storyteller | Former Fortune 100 Leader and Professional Athlete

John has a knack for making neuroscience so engaging that audiences forget they’re learning and start wondering if they can take their brain out for coffee afterward. A former Fortune 100 leader and professional athlete, John mixes brain science, storytelling, and just the right amount of humor to help people think sharper, lead stronger, and laugh harder.

A Certified Speaking Professional, a designation earned by only the top 18% of speakers worldwide, John has earned an unprecedented perfect 5.0 speaker rating for five straight years at the Center for Leadership Excellence, proving he knows how to fire up both neurons and audiences. His sessions are fast-paced, interactive, and loaded with “aha” moments that actually stick.
