Bio
Dan Principe
I told Don that I had a board design and layout that needed to be completed very quickly. I also asked that he manage the vendors involved from project start to the delivery of the finished prototypes. He completed all of this seamlessly, and met my agressive schedule. I am very pleased with his work, and recommend him highly.
