Testimonials

“I hired Brian to solve a complex business problem with my hardware infastructure. We had some older unreliable equipment that needed to be replaced. We also have newer, much faster equipment that was already in place. Rather than replace the old hardware with identical new hardware, Brian helped us take the older technology (2 Linux Servers) and host them virtually inside the Windows environment. It involved modifying a lot of scripts, testing and creating a solid backup/disaster recovery plan. To do this, Brian took the time to understand all of the challenges and learned a bit of how we do things so he could execute the transition flawlessly. Taking the time to learn what we do beyond the hardware allowed us to gain efficiencies that I otherwise would not have considered. He went deeper than just the hardware, he helped improve how we work! The result - faster, better, more reliable and ready to complete the remainder of the transition from Linux to Windows. Brian is one of those personable IT guys that knows how to get things done (and explain it to you so you understand!)”

Michael Pelaia, President, Hooks Unlimited

“Brian is the type of consultant who comes into your workspace and simply does the job timely and efficiently. He doesn't try to over sell his services or talk on a tech level way over a regular person's head. For lack of a better word he is the coolest IT consultant I know. He completely re-installed my servers in a day and half and streamlined our IT processes - I highly recommend him”

Simon Gray, CPA Jenesis Advisory Group, LLC

“Brian is a self directed individual who intuitively takes on tasks as they present themselves and requires no micro-management. I have enjoyed working with Brian on projects that require thinking outside the box and debating the pros and cons of different solutions. He certainly understands both the fundamentals and the complexities of real world network engineering and can find elegantly simple solutions to complex problems. He is undaunted at taking on new projects knowing nothing about the technologies involved and will take it upon himself to learn whatever is necessary to achieve success. His communications skills, demeanor and patience make him well suited to dealing with difficult partners, clients and co-workers without being visibly frustrated. Brian's thought process was evident from the first interview and carried on throughout his time with S&H. I would hire him again without hesitation.”

“Brian is a highly intelligent engineer and a team player. He understands the big picture in the Information Technology field not only focusing on the his niche of the IT field the “network layer”, which is a great asset to have as a IT team member. Brian’s knowledge/expertise has helped my team and I perfect our systems infrastructure.” October 29, 2007

Tim Haak, Windows System Administrator, S&H Solutions

“Brian is a very strong Technical Talent with limitless boundaries. Brian has a great personality that works very well with others. He is a natural leader who takes charge of projects when needed and focuses on helping others succeed. He shares his knowledge and experience with those around. Plus he also mentors those who desire mentoring. If I had the opportunity again to work with Brian I would be happy to be on the same team and work projects along side him.”

DeMarcus Ross, Senior Network Engineer, Sarcom

“Brian has a very high degree of technical proficiency, a thorough understanding of business priorities, and excellent interpersonal skills, allowing him to fix the problem and communicate to users why it needed to be fixed. He did CCNA/CCNP level work while at H&M without the certification, and was much more effective than the CCNP's we employed afterwards in his former position. I trust Brian's work so much, in fact, that at my new position I keep his info in my Rolodex for freelance work.”
