Michael is someone I could always count on. Not only to get the job done, but to give a well-rounded perspective on the work effort involved, the tradeoffs, and the achievable outcome. Due to Michael's vast array of experience, he provides insights and perspectives others may not consider. This is valuable as many just look at something as a task.
