Paul Hanson
I have known Tom professionally for fifteen years. I have worked with him on large and small projects during that time. Tom is smart, funny, and a very dedicated team member. One of the things that I like about Tom is his ability to adapt and learn new things. His attention to detail, organizational skills, and technical knowledge are outstanding. I especially appreciate the ability that Tom has in building relationships, both with his peers and with management. I would absolutely recommend Tom for a position, and would be excited for the opportunity to work with him again.
