Mike always succeeded with our projects by calculating risks and making solid determinations. I highly recommend Mike as an asset to any organization." and "Mike is a dedicated supervisor who is adept at handling high pressure situations and rapidly changing responsibilities. I have worked with him both as a colleague as well as a direct report. When the director of our department unexpectedly retired, we were at that time without a manager as well. Mike assumed the relevant duties of both positions in addition to his own, reporting directly to the vice president. He successfully performed personnel and career management responsibilities for our team, management of the customer relationship for our group, project advocation and production support crisis management. He conducts himself with integrity and accountability, always maintaining a professional attitude."
