        Often I gave tasks to Allen that we're a description of the desired end result. Not only did he achieve the goal, but he did so in a way that the process could be improvised if the future needs dictated it.

        Efficiency and attentiveness to the needs of his customers is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Allen. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Allen for a few years, during which we had a good working relationship, helped one another to service our customers. Above all, I was impressed with Allen’s tenacity in resolving his customers technical problems.  And, of course, his attentiveness to make sure his customers' needs are cared for would be a true asset for any positions requiring good customer service skills and a good technical know-how of various computer systems.
