Recommendations

Lanita HuttoChief Personnel Specialist (Ret)

John Stone is a consummate professional. He's hardworking, dedicated, and resourceful. As a manager, he's someone I've enjoyed having on my team throughout the years. John's work ethic and character lends itself well to any position he may desire. Whether it's management or non-management, he's always been successful.

Carla McCarthyCommander, USN (Ret)

John has assisted our organization for various periods/lengths of time, providing photography as well as graphics support. His products and professional demeanor are EXCELLENT, and we're always happy to have him return, especially during high profile, high tempo events!Michael Fierro

Captain, USN (Ret)

John was easy to work with, very accommodating, and unflappable in the face of disruptions, delays and other challenges. He was personable, expert and creative. The only reason I can't comment on value is that his was work was in support of an official Navy event hence there was no charge. I imagine the quality of his work would be a real value.

John KondratowiczSector Commander at U.S. Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England

I have worked with John since July on special projects requiring great attention to detail. His commitment has been outstanding and has matched his quality of work. John's recommendations are always on the mark. Most importantly he enjoys his work and is a pleasure to work with.

James Brooks, APR+MPublic Affairs & Veteran Business Development Officer at U.S. Small Business Administration South Florida District

John is an excellent photographer that needs little direction to get the job done. As a public affairs specialist for the Naval War College, I've needed John to capture imagery that describes our mission or event in pixels rather than words. He always in the right place for the shot, adjusts the image as required, and moves it quickly where public affairs can grab it and market it. His photos have been used in many print and online media markets. I have complete confidence that he will get the image I need, to do my job.
