        Chris is an all around awesome guy. He is an effective problem solver, is happy to help anyone out who needs it, and he knows his stuff. My favorite part of working with Chris is his enthusiastic optimism - his ability to light up a room is fantastic, and it makes the people around him happy and productive. I would gladly work with Chris any time! Tony Occhipinti
