In a career that has spanned more than 35 years, John has led some of the most recognizable and successful marketing campaigns in the hospitality world. Beginning in New York City, his passion for marketing took him to Las Vegas and a transformative opportunity to work alongside gaming and resort visionary Steve Wynn. For 15 years, he led the efforts behind the memorable campaigns and brand launches for the iconic Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio hotels.

In 1999, SK+G was formed with the idea of creating a world-class lifestyle marketing firm.

In January 2019, John and his award-winning team joined The Harkey Group to form one of the dominant independent holding companies in the Southwest. In 2023, continuing to lead the way in travel, hospitality and lifestyle marketing, MONOGRAM was formed as a specialty agency within the group focusing exclusively on this burgeoning category.
