I've worked with Alex on two separate SharePoint contracts and he is a top notch professional and SharePoint expert. There is no one else I'd rather have on my team and I have never seen someone so passionate about his work. He has accomplished very complicated and time sensitive SP projects. He is very familiar with the DoD environment and how to integrate SharePoint into classified and unclassified intranet environments. If you want someone that pays special attention to detail and listens to the customers needs then Alex is your man.

Michael Linster

Alex is perhaps the most passionate technologiest I have ever had the privilige to work with. Alex and I worked on a couple of different projects in the DoD space, and it was always a pleasure. Alex always has customer requirements at the fore of his mind.
