As a Digital Business Manager at Morgan International, John and I have been working very closely together for the past 2 years to develop and enhance the systems encompassed within the software that his company provides us with.
John Peebles has been doing an excellent job progressing Administrate Software (www.getadministrate.com), taking it to a completely new dimension in the event management software world.
At all times I have found John to be dependable, reliable, hard-working, conscientious, honest, and very careful when it comes to maintaining professional and healthy relationships with customers.
His output of the projects he managed has exceeded the combined results of all other development efforts I've witnessed during my experience at Morgan.
John would be a tremendous asset for any company he works with and has my highest recommendation.

Sincerely,
Bob

John's attention to the little things that give clients piece of mind when using his services. I am more than pleased with his professionalism, integrity and attitude to not only achieving but exceeding our agreed goals.

I thoroughly recommend John and will continue to use his services.

Full of vision and insight, John leads with energy and a strong commitment to his organization. At Sentry Data Systems, John painstakingly built a vibrant technology culture and a team of quality people. He doesn't just "get" the ideas behind "Peopleware" and "Joel on Software," he should write a book about creating a productive, collaborative and empowered environment. John's strong technology leadership will be a benefit at any company and I'd love to work for him again.

I worked with John for 2 years at Sentry Data Systems. He is an inspiring leader with a deep understanding of modern software development tools and practices. His depth of knowledge allows him to solve problems at many levels, from providing development suggestions to making strategic business decisions. He is also self motivated, hard working, and willing to listen to both suggestions and criticism. I highly recommend him and would enjoy the chance to work with him again.

John Peebles is an amazing visionary and superb facilitator who excelled in building a team of talented, creative people and fostering a work environment where those people could productively collaborate without the normal bureaucratic distractions of day-to-day business.

I worked with John directly on a litany of projects, from product branding to technical guides and nearly everything in between, and one thing remained consistent on every task: John knows his stuff. Through study and experience, he became expert in the field of healthcare technology and approached his work as a CIO and VP of Operations with a passion and intensity that was mirrored in the incredibly intelligent array of programmers and analysts he assembled to help build Sentry Data Systems from a fledgling startup with a handful of employees to a rapidly growing company that has increased its staff by more than 1,000 percent in the last four years despite the recession.

John's greatest strength as a leader is in his ability to view employees as individuals with ambitions and creative impulses rather than as only means to a financial end. That's not to say John doesn't get monetary results - he certainly does, as evidenced by the hundreds of clients that have signed up with Sentry to use the products developed by John and his team. But John manages to bring about success in a way that benefits everyone and encourages further creativity and development by employees at all levels in an organization.

Anyone lucky enough to hire John will quickly benefit from a passionate, driven leader with a vast repository of technological knowledge and an innate desire to learn more, work harder, and contribute however needed to bring his company and his colleagues success.

I worked with John for 5 years at Sentry Data Systems and watched him grow the software development team from just 4 developers to over 40 (not including operations and support). He is very good technically, yet always made sure to ask for a developer's (or team's) opinion on technical things, which in turn motivated people and fostered a great work environment. He has very good people skills and also communicates very well. I highly recommend him.

John is a knowledgeable and highly capable information technology manager. He has both the breadth and depth of knowledge to tackle any challenge in that space, as he has demonstrated time and time again.

I've worked with John for a little over three years now. I reported directly to him for two of those three years.

In the time that I've worked with him, I've seen him demonstrate a strong ability to identify the root problems and propose solutions to those problems. Further, he repeatedly was able to deliver on those solutions in a timely fashion.

John performed extremely well in an Executive role, and was able to shield those beneath him from many issues by addressing those issues himself. He fought for the culture of the company and is a fundamental reason the culture is as great as it is today. He was able to work with other members of the Executive team to guide the company in a direction that allowed it to grow from a few employees to over one hundred employees.

Beyond that, he possesses a very strong work ethic. He would be one of the last to leave each day, while tackling a varied number of problems throughout the day.

Finally, John is able to communicate clearly and effectively when he works with people. He expresses his ideas in a written or spoken form so that those around him can grasp and understand his ideas.

Outside of work he was consistently experimenting with new technologies and working on his own side projects, showing a strong aptitude for learning as well as developing software.

My recommendation would be to consider John for any position ranging from a software Team Lead all the way to an Executive position. He is a great leader and a very hard worker.

I have worked with John as a software developer as well as under him as a manager and I can attest to his strong desire for excellence, lightning fast grasp of the ramifications of a technical situation, and his ability to communicate to and motivate those working under him.

John has years of experience in software development as both a developer and as an IT executive and I would strongly recommend him in either capacity.

I recommend John for any software development role, from individual contributor to team lead to senior management. He has excellent interpersonal skills, a great work ethic and was a great asset to my organization.

John has a unique ability to create a culture required to develop cutting-edge technology. He can put together talent and create an environment where technologists want to work and achieve success. With an acute understanding of market needs, John is able to harness the abilities of the technology team and guide it toward business objectives.
