Mike Prestwood is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe him as "Anyone who has the idea to start a consulting company so that they can "be their own boss" needs to walk a mile in Mike's shoes. I worked for Mike at Prestwood IT Solutions from 2001 through 2005. During that time I observed his skill in handling difficult technical issues and client expectations. In other words, Mike had several bosses, each with distinct personalities and demands. Mike always kept the big picture of retaining good relationships in mind, seeking win-win solutions. While Mike primarily acted as "technical czar" over the development staff, he is also a highly skilled programmer in technologies ranging from Paradox, Delphi, VB.NET and C#. We never knew what skill the next assignment would require, and thus we were all constantly learning while striving to meet schedules within budget. " and "My time with Mike was a time of tremendous professional growth. His style was hands-on and direct, which I very much appreciated. He kept a fine balance between expecting his engineers to direct themselves and making sure they kept focused on delivering top-quality consulting results on time and within projected budgets. His support of his people is unconditional and strong. He runs a high quality shop and is a powerful mentor."
