Bio
Scott Meador
It has been my pleasure to work with Dennis for many years and he has been key to our success on many of the technically complex projects we have been called to tackle. Dennis always delivers with solid technical ability, imagination, and a nose-to-the grindstone work ethic. I recommend Dennis with no reservation.
Dan Udell
Dennis is a true professional in every way. He was my "go to guy" on a daily basis. Could be counted on to get the work done on time & under budget. His work ethic, knowledge, dependability, are all attributes to his character. Highly recommend Dennis to any employer looking for quality people.
