Bio
Darrell Klotzbach
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Steve at Experience Unlimited. He has an amazing skill for fixing things and an insatiable curiosity. He helped so many people at Experience Unlimited with their technical problems, with both computer hardware and software. And he is great and easy to get along with as well. He is a real gem for any organization that has the good fortune of having him in their employ.

I had the pleasure of working alongside of Steve as a co-manager on a variety of programs and workshops. His keen ability to diagnose technical problems, research potential options and provide a recommendation on the best course was invaluable in our organization. On several occasions, I observed his commitment to providing excellent customer service for personal computers and for the NOVA systems, and mentoring others to increase their technical skills. His professionalism extended beyond just technology; he conducted training and led cross-functional meetings where he was able to capture key obstacles from the ProMatch membership, and then promote collaboration to identify techniques and specific strategies for overcoming these challenges. I am particularly impressed with Steve's intense curiosity and commitment to increasing his skill set through ongoing training.
