Bio
Thomas Zeliff
Micah is an intelligent, hard working, big picture Director that also effectively manages people. His knowledge of IT systems, infrastructure, and project methodologies is vast and he's always willing to help out on any project no matter how busy he is. I value our partnership at OmniUpdate and enjoy working with him. He is an indispensable asset to the company and a pleasure to collaborate with.

Micah has a vast technical knowledge that is very versatile - he is able to connect concepts and figure out solutions to big problems. He is always willing to step in and help figure things out, even those beyond his sphere. More than his impressive technical abilities, I found Micah to be a very impressive people manager - which can be a rare treat in the IT world. He is clear, decisive, and earns the respect of his team while simultaneously holding them to a high standard, and isn't afraid to make changes when necessary. I would take the opportunity to work with Micah any chance I could.
