Bio
John Trumbul Jr
In the current market, it is rare to find someone as well rounded as Colin. A jack of all trades, master of many in his case. Colin has the ability to abstract systems down their finest granularity to disect, diagnose and most of all solve problems. While reporting to me, Colin was responsible for the setup, security, and performance of our SQL Server environment. His depth of IT knowledge allowed him to excel in this capacity securing, mininizing downtime, and keeping the business moving. I would recommend Colin highly gor any senior level IT position, and am confident he will thrive. I look foward to working with him again.
