Bio
Anthony Pinto
Kevin was a good manager and had a very good IT team underneath him that did their jobs fast and efficient, just like Kevin expected them to do. He checked in daily and made sure things were going smoothly and that is a big part of why his team worked so well together. He was a good supervisor who let his team do their work and he did his own work and as I said he checked in once or twice a day just to see how everyone was and things ran very smoothly.

Kevin is incredible. I hired him as an outside IT consultant almost 12 years ago and he always provided excellent service, had up-to-date IT knowledge with phenomenal people skills. He is so awesome that when I changed companies, I fired the existing IT consultant and re-hired Kevin. Kevin understands the big picture as well as the detailed steps to get there.
