Jayson is the epitome of what an IT engineer should be. He is extremely knowledgeable, hardworking, and a trusted technical advisor to all of his clients. The high demand for his time to implement and resolve highly complex projects and issues are a tribute to the value and expertise that he brings to the table. I believe he is one of the best IT engineers in the Midwest, and highly recommend Jayson for any position or service engagement.

Jayson has been an extremely valuable resource for us over the past 2 years. Jayson is primarily responsible for the stability of our Network connectivity to most of our remote locaitons, contributing to extremely successful Tax seasons over the past two years. Anyone considering hiring Jason would be making an excellent decision.
