Eric DeGrass

Karl is one of those people that embodies the 'git 'er done' attitude. Over the last decade, we've consolidated more than a few dozen data centers together and a persistent grit is needed to finish that sort of accomplishment! Any team would be lucky to have Karl, and I couldn’t recommend him more for any business looking for new talent!

I have worked with many professionals throughout my journey, but Karl was a unique one to work. I started my work journey with him, and he helped me understand the company’s internal process. His work ethics are pristine, and he is easily adjustable to a given situation. His ability to go out of his way to help others has made him stand out. Thanks a lot, man! You made the transition smooth and more comfortable.
