Here are a few references from my LinkedIn profile:
“Having worked with John for several years while at Ortronics I am impressed with his professionalism, thoroughness, thoughtfulness and consistent attention to the needs conveyed by potential users of his web designs. John's efforts, while serving Ortronics, led to significant improvements in the company's ability to generate, maintain, access and control data. In addition, the tools developed during his tenure were extremely effective in converting data of limited use to information on which business critical decisions were made with direct benefit to the operation of the company.” May 26, 2008
Mike Hines, Director, Fiber Optics, WiFi, Inteligent Management Systems, Ortronics
worked with John at Ortronics/Legrand
“This man is an IT/Web Hercules!! Not only is his technical abilities superior, but his ability to sit down with "customers" (internal or external, for example) and do a needs analysis is short of prophetic. He can quickly analyze the situation, ask a series of questions and then propose or detail scenarios that you may not (most likely, NOT!) have even considered. I cannot speak long or lougly enough of this man's capabilities. I can now only speak with longing envy to those fortunate enough to be able to work with John in his future endeavors.” May 23, 2008
