==Inspiration and Ideas==
+
John was able to study and work under [[Larry Brilliant]] at The University of California, Berkley; and was also mentored by [[Doug Engelbart]]. He has since gone on to research and develop a variety of technologies that have the ability to reduce waste, emissions, and energy, reform our use of standard technologies, and reuse waste products in sustainable endeavors.

He is interested in developing more sustainable solutions for disaster relief; such as using blimps, and low-power and wireless technologies. This would not only allow relief efforts to save more lives but to do so in an environmentally innovative manner.<ref>[[ICANN 40]] Interview</ref>
