Amazed and impressed, was my feeling when I worked with Tim when we were at CSC, and I'm not the type to be easily impressed. Tim is a true guru and leader when it comes to technologies, from Linux to Windows. Contrary to the majority of technology experts out there, Tim is very down to earth, friendly and extremely well articulated. He is loved by others and never afraid to speak up his mind. Having Tim around and among our team was key and instrumental to our several corporate achievements. I would love to work with Tim again, any time, any day!

It was always a pleasure to work with Tim, and I found that he was always quick to come up with a good suggestion or idea based on his past experience. With Tim's knowledge and ability to work well with anyone, he would be a good fit with almost any company. I look forward to working with Tim again in the future.
