Andy began as a Business Analyst on my team before becoming a Project Manager on another team. In his later position I continued to work with him on various projects. Andy has always shown a great attention to detail, and has been very diligent about providing good financials and reports for his projects. He has always been a strong advocate for good project management methodology, especially the PMBOK, and his knowledge in this area is very deep. He was an asset to my team.
