It was the first time I met John. It was back in 1999 when John was with Winstar Interactive and I was at broadcast.com. I was shopping around SF for a small office space for me and a few of my teammates. I stumbled into Johns office because he was subletting space. The space wasn’t much but when I entered the office, John was like a light bulb that flipped on. He couldn’t have been more welcoming. He got up and greeted me before he even knew what I was there. He was just a natural charmer that loved connecting with people. He made me feel warm and welcome so even though it wasn’t my favorite space, it was my first choice, just because of John. broadcast got purchased by Yahoo a week later so I never got to work in the same office with John and that was absolutely my loss.
