Bio
Alan Shepherd
Al and his Team looked after our connectivity needs for over a decade and at every step we felt very secure that our best interests were their priority. Al has been the ultimate professional and has garnered much respect. He brings a wealth of knowledge and for non-technical people, as myself, he has the patience to explain all aspects of our systems in layman terms. I have been fortunate in that I have been able to spend time with Al in social events outside of work and he is always a true gentleman.
Frank Fulop
Al has been a key partner and advisor to us for years. His insight into both new, and current technologies, and strategies about such have been invaluable. Working with Al is always a pleasure. He possesses some of the best communication skills in the business, and I always look forward to working with him no matter how large the project.
