While Dan was doing great work building his skills at Depaul, he gave my company great assistance through his own consulting. From networks, to VOIP, to getting our systems online and even our cell phones and other systems working, Dan was outstanding. He is an outgoing and charming fellow to have at our site. He has been easy to work with, we are never afraid to ask 'stupid' questions and he has great skills working with my people and systems.

Dan is great, has been my go to IT guy for many years. Started with my business years ago, has kept my network up and running smoothly ever since! Fair prices, easy to reach and a computer genius. Not sure what I would do without Dan.
