I have known Rich Cousans for almost 3 years in my capacity as Systems Administrator at Scarborough Research. Rich worked with me on various projects as a Sr. Systems Admin, and based on his work, I would rank him as one of the bests in the IT field. Rich is always ready and willing to jump in and take care of any tasks that comes his way. He will never shy’s away from any task or project no matter how big or small. He gives it all he’s got to get the job done. He pays close attention to detail and always performs high quality work. Rich is a multi-talented IT professional with expert skill sets on Networks and Windows Servers. I have learned a lot from Rich over the past few years. He is always willing to share his knowledge with his peers and others. It has been a pleasure to work with such a talented IT pro. I highly recommend Rich Cousans as a Senior Systems Administrator and Team Leader. He would be a great asset to any IT team

It is my pleasure and privilege to recommend Richard Cousans. When I first began in this industry Richard was a key figure in my success, having experience and knowledge he helped me to quickly acclimate and succeed in the role of Systems Administrator. Richards' wealth of knowledge served as a helping hand for me in my early career. Always ready and willing to help others Richard shows his true potential as both a highly skilled IT Professional, Leader and Mentor. Even when handling multiple projects and implementing time and money saving ideas, Richard has consistently met deadlines and helped coordinate the IT department to success time after time. He would be an asset to any company or team and I personally would jump at an opportunity to work with him again!!
