We've all been asked by others to tell them "all about ourselves."
And so the inspiration for  this portal site.
 
"All About Johnny!"
 
"Johnny" is a name that has been associated with me my entire life... oddly more so in my adult life. Though I normally use my two given names, John David, as my parents did when they "meant business," or just John... with an initial only when forced...
Johnny is the common thread.
 
Below, I've introduced / indexed some of my sites and some related to my work so that you can either link to the home page or in some cases go to a specific page, if provided. Hopefully this order serves well.

"Tactics Make Strategies Happen"
                                                                         JDS
 
While heading the sales and marketing function for a previous employer,
I used to daydream about calling in a skilled task force to help me achieve my goals...
especially when time and quota were pressing.  But, there was no "ready-reserve."
 
I fulfilled this dream in 1983 with S*W*A*T(sm), a self-contained marketing & sales force,
 whose mission was to supercharge the effort of companies, organization, and individuals.
From roots in high technology, S*W*A*T broadened its services in '86 to meet the business development needs of various clientele.  Since then, it has stood in the trenches with high-low-no-tech companies, organizations, and individuals in both "business-to-business," and "business-to-consumer" endeavors.
 
S*W*A*T called itself a strike force to reflect the disciplined approaches, talents, and services which it brought to the process of obtaining new, or expanding present business.
 
S*W*A*T's orientation has always been hands-on.
We do not just give advice; we help to implemented it!
 
Today, S*W*A*T's core mission is the same.
S*W*A*T's "Can do... Will do" spirit exists thru my consulting which is reinforced,
if necessary, with high-powered, freelance professionals and sub-contractors
replacing the self-contained employees.
 
Today, S*W*A*T's Enhanced Tactics 
engage the spectrum of the digital revolution.

"Johnny HiHat"
DJ / MC |  Productions & Entertainment  |  And yes... Cats!
 
 
From youth, I 've owned pairs of drum sticks.  I'm not an excellent drummer, but this never stopped me from pounding out a beat.  I also can't carry a tune... so rhythms have been more important to me than words.  The sticks-met-the-music in DJ Johnny HiHat, a hihat being the name of the rhythm cymbal that usually keeps the off-beat.  From DJ-ing, HiHat is expanding into entertainment / event management.  What about the cats? It's a long story that is explained in the site... But the common thread between DJ/MC-ing and Cats is the word "Tuxedo."

"Entrepreneurs mind their own business!" 
 
While I don't bet on sporting events or games of chance, I'm a "all-in" when it comes to a business ventures. It's a paradoxical mindset of perceived control, because to me roulette with certain odds seem unwinable... while "the cards," which are always stacked against an entrepreneur, seem beatable.  Go Figure!

"Johnny Be Good"
Man Alive  |  The Good Prince  | We The People Rule  |  Venues & Events 
 
I took one manadatory sociology class... and one mandatory political science class in college.
If you told me that someday, I would be hooked on the confluence of these disciplines, I would have laughed.  Well, the laugh is one me, for I have a passion for topics in a focused area.  And, I have invested great time and personal money in pursuing those matters which are important to me.  Under the broad umbrella of Man Alive / Humankind Is Back , The Good Prince of Darkness, Venues & Events, and We The People Rule I  disseminate thoughts, battle bias, and take actions.  Often, my challenges are now in the form of long emails.  Some of these activities will seek grant funding; others may go commercial, or remain self-funded to preserve freedom.

As a result of the war, with a colleague, we launched a charity to make known he needs of veterans.  As a public 501c3 charity we must be by Federal law and in deed are non-political. Notwithstanding, this ruling does not prevent me -- or others in public charities -- from having opinions to be expressed outside of the charity.

I dedicate this site to my parents, Mary Sonsini and Anthony Sottile...  Mr. & Mrs.
It was - and still is - through their guidance that I was given the confidence to explore.
I believe that every person has a page like this one and people who inspired its creation.
So, I encourage others to build a site...  It's a gift back to those people who gave you yours.

Below is a video which I produced from images, music, and sound effects which I gathered on the Internet and then edited.  It is in two parts:  The first part questions the run-up and and consequences of the Iraq War (not the Afghanistan).  The second part illustrates the "inconsolable loss" which is the bridge between the two segments.
