Michael is an outstanding talent and one of the easiest people I have had the pleasure of working with. The approach to his work is something to be desired and his knowledge of IT systems and new technology is outstanding. Michael works well within any environment and is both friendly and courteous to all. His friendship and business skills are of great value to me and we still consult each other from time to time in terms of networking and converged communications.
