John and I worked together while pursuing our Executive MBA at the University of Miami. He is extremely focused on delivering the best possible results both at work and while in the program. His dedication towards stellar performance as a leader mirrored his quality of work. He will put his heart and soul into every project and seeks improvement in everything he does. His diverse experience will be an asset in any organization.

“John and I were classmates in University of Miami's Executive MBA Program for Working Professionals in Tampa Bay from 2006 until 2008. Although John and I were not in the same study group I was always impressed with the way he prepared for each class lecture and group presentation. John constantly stepped up and took on the role as project leader for group presentations. He did an excellent job of delegating actions to group members based on their strengths and always went above and beyond to ensure his group positioned itself for success. John is a remarkable presenter with superb communication skills and his presentations always stood out to me as the best in class. John’s great organizational skills were noticed by many of Miami’s most tenured professors who taught our classes. They looked to John as their “go to guy” for any assistance needed during their sessions. Whatever the request, John always took on the additional responsibilities with a great attitude. John is a man of character with unwavering confidence and I am certain that he would be a tremendous asset to any organization. I would be more than willing to discuss John’s strengths in more detail with any organization who is interested in improving their bottom line.”

John and I had shared some professional goals during the Ticket Level Modification Project. For this project the entire ticket level of the Landside Building was dismantled and reconstructed. During this process John worked with me to ensure the public was able to find their way around during the demolition and subsequent reconstruction.

John's leadership to his staff provided some very excellent support to the public for this difficult time. I found John to be of the highest professional demeanor and approach while dealing with a very difficult situation, and also his interaction with the sometimes surly public and distressed employees was of exemplary performance.

John is one who "keeps his wits about him" during the fray.

I first hired John as a student intern for the Austin Bureau at the Texas Capitol when he was a student at the University of Texas. John was among our most outstanding interns. He had a "can-do" work ethic. Moreover, he worked with minimal supervision under tight deadlines. I have kept up with John's impressive career advances over the past 15 years. The fact that he returned college to get an MBA while working day shifts speaks loudly about this ability and dedication.

He comes highly recommended because of his attention to detail and dedication.

John Sparks is extremely knowledgeable in social media strategy. I had the opportunity to work with John on a few social media projects to bring visibility and awareness to our company. He takes the time to better understand your goals and he applies it to your social media tools. You will experience immediate results. I would strongly recommend him for your social media projects and business strategy.

Good news producers create good newscasts; great news producers possess incredible creativity, are able to multi-task under an immense amount of pressure, and share a harmonius rapport with colleagues; those are all attributes that I admire in John Sparks. I had the pleasure of working with John at KPRC-TV, channel 2, and got to know him quite well. He surpassed the good producer level, going the extra mile to attain great producer status in a short amount of time. Working in a newsroom can be quite intimidating; only a take-charge kind of person will succeed in such an intense environment. John surpassed all that was asked of him, and was respected by all who worked with him.
