John A. Garcia (born 1949) is a Spanish-born American best known as the founder and CEO of the video game company Novalogic.
In the late 1970s, he moved to Southern California, where he worked as Vice President at Datasoft, and was responsible for production of at least 40 software titles.
[citation needed] Garcia's choice to rent one of his Malibu homes, traditionally used for charitable events, to commercial group Polaroid, came under scrutiny in 2007.
Neighbors at his beach home complained that celebrities Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were bringing an unwanted element to the community.
[6] The story was put on the cover of the LA Times but quickly died down once Polaroid's contract with Garcia expired.
