About John Farmer
I’m a communication professional with 15+ years of management experience and awesome dad jokes. In the same way a robust cabernet complements a delicious Havarti, my passion for leadership, communication, and public relations pairs exceptionally well with my sincere desire to help others. I love solving problems – especially the ones that don’t have any obvious solutions – building community and collaborating with an awesome team.I enjoy backpacking, being a twin dad, skiing, Star Wars, mountaineering, killer workouts, gardening and coffee (who doesn’t love coffee?).My specialties- Communication- Leadership- Project Management- Media Relations- Nunchuks- Social Media- Public Speaking- Creativity- WritingI’ve been told I’m hilarious
Experience
Senior Communications Consultant Strategy, Public Relations, Cat-wrangling
Jan 2021 — Present · Portland, OR, US
If you didn’t know already, PGE is a big company with a lot going on, so all the sussing about that goes into the right storytelling opportunities can be a bit of a puzzle at times. That’s why I love this role. I am blessed with the opportunity to work with super-duper people and their teams to figure out how best to share their story, both internally and externally.
