Bio
Chris Furey
Joe is one of those amazing people who can keep his head while juggling the bowling ball, flaming torch, a dozen eggs and the proverbial chainsaw. I witnessed firsthand his calm, cool and professional approach to bringing order from chaos when he was a client of mine during his time at the Bond Market's Association. He built a hot-site DR data center from scratch which became a production site midstream during the project, and I never saw him sweat. It's easy to inherit a going operation. Any decent admin can do that. But there are very few people who bring complex projects in on time and on budget, but Joe is one of them. He's an asset to any client smart enough to hire him. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again some day.

Joe is a terrific colleague. He is responsible, hard working, considerate, good natured under duress, continually learning knew skills and eager to share his knowledge. I miss working with him and recommend him whole-heartedly.
