At SLUG, Community Development Manager John Ford puts in the hours day in and out. Not only does he help put our lovely advertisers in front of our dear readers, but he also assists and orchestrates countless operations so that we may perform the full breadth of our events programming and distribution throughout Northern Utah. The dude is even the Production Manager for our sister nonprofit, Craft Lake City! Ford helps keep the lights on around here in both our physical office space and in spirit with his dogged positivity and commitment to SLUG. He loves to hit each Disney amusement park he can during his brief in-between moments, sure as the wind blows to bring back a tasty treat to share. Anyone with a relationship with John Ford is lucky to have such a present friend committed to supporting them however he can—we sure are.
