I first met Mike when he came on site as a consultant where I was manager of information technology. I had inherited numerous problems as a recent hire and needed an expert to assist me in getting a large LAN set up properly. Mike exhibits a level of IT knowledge that I have rarely seen before. His expertise in networking in general and network operating systems and hardware specifically was quite impressive. Mike possesses a friendly can-do attitude. He is very adept at communicating with executives in laymens terms which is rare for a high level technical expert. Mike was always my first choice when faced with a complex problem that required advanced network hardware and software skills. His outside the box thinking never failed to result in a successful outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike for any position that requires a dedicated, friendly, and highly skilled technical expert in the IT industry.
