He is always willing to jump in and help when ever anyone calls, be it the engineering team or the news staff.  This includes taking support tickets around the clock, many times after a full day of work. The tenacity he demonstrates when working on problems long after the work day has completed extends the value Michael brings to any company. Michael also played a key part in exploring alternatives to NewsCycle in bringing our attention to NewsEngin, which would drop company costs and reduce sustaining work.  His insight into NewsCycle and its anomalies are key to the news sites and making the authors team run efficiently. When anyone needs an idea, solution to a problem, or future solution Michael always has a thoughtful response.  His ability to finish multiple tasks in a short amount of time is unparalleled. In summary he is a key member that is constantly learning and teaching while providing first-rate service to any team and business. I highly recommend hiring Michael. "
