Bio
Ivo van Selst
I had the pleasure of working with Craig when he was my Site IM Coordinator (aka: Site IT Analyst), located at Trend Mine, in North-Eastern BC at Anglo American. The Trend Mine site was an extremely remote, fast paced and demanding environment. Craig was responsible for delivering and supporting a broad range of IT services and projects at the site. Craig consistently proved himself to be a dedicated and hard working IT professional. As the "go to guy" for site IT issues, Craig was instrumental in delivering a variety of strategic initiatives including implementation of our time and attendance system, Windows 7 migration, digital signage project and day to day administration of the mines production LAN, VSphere infrastructure platform and Cisco CMBE IPT environments. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Craig again

Craig and I worked together on a highly charged hardware deployment project for the most difficult project manager I have ever worked with. He performed with a level of professionalism that spoke highly of his character and skills, despite the difficulties we faced daily on the project. I would gladly have Craig with or for me again if given the opportunity.
