Technology/New Media Pioneer
In the mid 90s, St. John was part of American Cybercast, the online network backed by Microsoft. He became the story editor and executive producer of the critically acclaimed web site, The Spot, which he revived in 2004 with an all-new cast for the web, and created a cell phone component with over 2500 mobisodes that aired on Sprint PCS Vision enabled phones, essentially becoming the first American cell phone soap. A huge believer in online entertainment and the community it reaches, St. John created California Heaven -- as the first scripted TV series produced exclusively for broadband. It launched in August 2005. Its first season was licensed to Japan. In 2011 St. John and producing partner Todd Fisher re-launched a newer version of California Heaven on their online television network, The SFN.
