Recommendations

David is a highly technical individual with outstanding project management expertise. I managed a Single-Sign On/Smartcard implementation where David was the lead technical resource. I provided minimal guidance and direction as David is a self-motivated, team player or leader, and a problem-solving person who will excel at anything you throw his way. I would hire David for almost any position I have available; he is exceptional!
