Bio
Steve Sefton
The company I work for hired Chris as a consultant to help us put in a SharePoint Server that was integrated with MS Project. Chris was energetic, full of ideas, fun to work with, and very knowledgeable in his field. He helped us set up tools to automatically generate workspaces for each of our projects based off of custom criteria depending on the project type, resources, timeline etc. In the beginning it seemed like Chris was just saying, "Yeah Sure, I can do that!" to everything which kind of made me think he was making promises to solutions that he couldn't fulfill, what really impressed me was when he delivered... and them some going above and beyond my expectations. He really opened my eyes to what was possible with MS Project and its integration with SharePoint. On a side note Chris is a great guy, he's the kind of guy you can invite over to your kid's birthday party to discuss business and have a couple beers with... he'll probably bring a piñata too.
