Shawn Aucutt, PMP
Michael was an outstanding engineer and always a true professional. Michael was an extremely high performer and always delivered. The best thing about working with Michael was his soft skills, he was friendly, sincere and professional at all times. Michael was a true pleasure to work with, and would be a positive difference maker to any team, especially in the Telecom world that we worked in together. Michael played a key role assisting my network services group turn up data and dial tone services in 23 states across the USA.

This recommendation is for Mike Kastening when I worked with him at McCleodUSA. Some of them were for me directly and some for those I supervised. Michael worked on several of my projects as an Engineer and as he gained more responsibility with well deserved promotions, he assigned his staff of Engineers to my team. Mike never let me down, even when the deadline was impossible to meet he came through. Mike is an outstanding Engineer and Manager and I would love to work with him again. Mike's energy and "Can do" spirit was infectious and spread to the entire team. The highest recommendation I can give is that I'd love to work with Mike again in any capacity and wouldn't hesitate to hire him. They don't come any better than Mike. I would hire him without hesitation. Mike is a top-notch guy to work with and I was always glad when he was assigned to one of my projects. You can't do any better than Mike. If you need further evidence or want more information from me you can reach me via email tjc1957@hotmail.com. Sincerely, Tim Cunningham
