Bio
Charles D. Galler Jr.
Aaron is one of the many project managers that I have worked with over my career. He is an excellent PM that can handle the largest of projects, including the build and turn up of 2 Data Centers and a new HQ for a single client. He is thorough and very detailed. He holds the team accountable and manages the project timeline so that it is successful. I would request him to PM the projects that I was on. Personally, he is easy to get along with and very professional.

I've been in IT over 35 years and have worked with MANY project managers. Most are adequate. Some are terrible. But Aaron Abshire is exceptional. He has an amazing ability to balance multiple, simultaneous, sometimes conflicting projects smoothly and efficiently. He knows how to remove road blocks to keep projects moving forward. He knows how to calm and refocus frustrated people. He knows when to take a stand against scope creep. And he does all this in a friendly and professional manner. I wish there were more Aaron's in the IT world. You would be blessed to have him on your team.
