The Music Man
John Heffner, CEO/President of Creative Nail Design, is a die-hard rock 'n' roll fan, who has more than 20,000 songs on his five iPods.
The first concert he ever saw was Styx. The year was 1977; the place was Boise, ID, his hometown. The first famous musician he ever met was Mark Lindsay, lead singer of the '60s pop band Paul Revere & the Raiders. "I met him when I was a kid. He was from Boise, too," says self-professed rock 'n' roll addict John Heffner, who fulfills his duties as CEO/President of Creative Nail Design when he's not attending concerts or hanging out with musicians. So does he remember his second star sighting? "Jackson Browne," he says without missing a beat. "I actually ran into him at an airport in Boise in the late '70s. He was a perfect gentleman." For anyone who knows Heffner, none of this is surprising. So far he's met more than 200 rock 'n' roll icons from Stevie Wonder to Sting just by going up to them and introducing himself. "I'm always very polite," he says.
