I've worked with Ernie for more than ten years and during that time I've come to value Ernie's contributions to the team. On the software projects I've lead, I've asked for Ernie to lead the verification team. I know that Ernie will deliver a super high quality product, he will deliver it on time, he is a team player, and great to work with. I can ask Ernie to lead the Verification team and he pretty much takes care of the rest.

I worked with Ernie for over 4 years at Smiths-Medical on several different projects. He is always very easy to talk with. He is always interested in hearing about problems, and is always willing to help investigate possible issues. He encourages others to push themselves. He works tirelessly to meet company deadlines. He has incredible product knowledge. He is kind, diligent, thorough, adept… I highly value his input. He is an excellent team lead, and I would love to work for him again.
