Colleagues describe him as "I've known Mike for more years then I care to admit. We have either worked together as employees of an access equipment manufacturer tasked with gaining acceptance of new technologies or in a vendor/customer relationship. In every relationship, I have always been impressed with his deep level of understanding of the underlying technology and his ability to explain it. Mike's attention to detail combined with both years of hands on operational experience and architectural work make him unusually qualified to understand the needs of customers at multiple levels. These skills combined with Mike's calm and friendly demeanor make him an extremely valuable resource for anyone tasked with evaluating their solution, improving on the design and gaining acceptance from customers in both a lab exercise or in preparation for deployments. On more of a purely technical note, Mike has been very involved in assisting in the development of DPoE and other major specifications in use today or for future use in access networks, both legacy DOCSIS and the latest PON related architectures. Mike is an outstanding resource and would make a very valuable addition to a team of a cutting edge technical engineers or to lead one. I would welcome the opportunity to recommend Mike to anyone looking at bringing him into their team."
