“Michael is the glue that keeps everything together, while still appearing seamless. When we worked together at AbsenceSoft, I could always count on Michael to deliver whatever solution was needed at the time, no matter the deadline or the requirements. He is a natural leader, and someone who can bring value to any organization or situation he finds himself in. I would gladly work with him again in the future if possible, and recommend him highly”
“Michael’s drive and motivation is contagious. He’s hungry to learn, and constantly looking for ways to improve and be more efficient. He’s a true professional with an entrepreneurial mindset. People like Michael are an asset, and are rare to come by.”
“Michael is the definition of a go-getter. A natural leader, regardless of the scenario or the project, he immediately takes control, always delivers stellar results and never misses a deadline. He’s the type of person that makes everything look so easy and seamless even if it’s not. His attitude is infectious and you can always find him with a smile on his face. It’s been a privilege working with him, and I hope that one day I can create as great of a positive impact as he does.”
