John lives in Mendham, NJ, with his wife and family. Currently, he is employed by Ogilvy CommonHealth, the world’s largest healthcare communications company. It’s a safe bet that John is currently thinking about aspects of consciousness as related to the mystical experience and cognition--all wrapped around a killer social media strategy.
