I had an opportunity to work with Pat while he was brought on as the team lead for a contract support desk engagement with my company. While we were going through the processes and sharing knowledge about the environment I was impressed by Pat's documentation skills and the speed at with he acclimated to the new environment. As we worked together supporting remote clients in branches all over the country I gained a great respect for Pat's ability to work problems independently, ask for assistance when needed, and provide a great level of overall service to my organization's computer users. The firm Pat was working for saw the merit of his work and promoted him to a position where he was supervising the the support agents servicing our company. Pat's attitude of taking care of the customer carried through in the professional way he took supported our account. I highly recommend Pat's work especially for customer facing jobs where getting an issue resolved quickly and effectively allows the business to move forward and continue its mission.

I worked with Pat at University of Phoenix for three+ years. Pat consistently demonstrated his ability to meet deadlines, work independently, problem solve, and think critically. I could always count on Pat to submit excellent projects and do whatever was asked of him. He is dedicated, hard-working, and promotes positive relationships both internally and externally. The campus functioned at a much higher level BECAUSE of Patrick Montgomery.
