Bio
LinkedIn User
As voice and integrated services product manager at Integra, Terry was the lead engineering resource on many of my projects. He brings a calm, reasonable, and respectful approach to the teams he is a part of. I have seen him change the tone of conversations in team meetings from one of conflict to better collaboration. He is great at breaking down very detailed and complex concepts so that non-engineers can understand. In short, he’s a good communicator, a good collaborator, and a strong engineer.

What sets Terry apart is his business acumen, coupled with his technical skills that allow him to see the big picture. Furthermore, Terry has great people and communication skills and is able to break down complex technical subjects into easily understood terms. For these reasons, Terry is a remarkable asset and always a sought out team member for any project team.
