David brought tremendous value as a Helpdesk Agent. He was able to quickly isolate the issues and resolve them quickly. If he was unable to resolve it, he'd get the issue to those who can. His documentation was superb; anyone could read his trouble tickets and see both what happened on the call and his efforts to resolve the issue. He will be an asset to any team, and sure to be a trusted resource wherever he is.
