About John
I am a gold mine of jaw-dropping experiences. As a U.S. diplomat and ambassador, I was a nuclear arms negotiator, in Embassy Moscow as the USSR was disintegrating, at the United Nations, worked with and befriended Nelson Mandela, in charge of many crises (see the IPA's gold medal winning, The Embassy A Story of War and Diplomacy, by Dante Paradiso), on Wall Street during the financial crisis, consultant on crisis management to governments and firms, and started it all out as an Army officer.
Presently, I head up a small, start-up company, Bridge of Gold Entertainment LLC, which writes both fictional and non-fictional screenplays. Listed below are the awards of our company's non-fictional flagship script ("The Embassy" aka "The Bridge of Gold"). We also offer fictional screenplays, such as "The Demon Stone" (horror, five accolades), and our newest screenplays, RE-LIFE (sci-fi/horror), and "2020" (animation/drama).
