"Kristopher makes a great addition to any development team. During the time we worked together, I felt confident that whatever task was assigned to him would be completely fully and on time. He is able to figure out solutions to problems on his own but is not afraid to ask questions for clarification on issues to prevent wasting time on dead ends. I would recommend him to any open development position."

Marshall Thornton - Lead Developer at Geary LSF Digital Marketing Group

"Kris and I worked together at CollisionSync on many different eCommerce projects. Kris was great at taking little direction and turning it into great work. He was also able to figure out many of the different subtleties that came with the ecommerce platform that we were using at the time. He has grown as a person and as a developer in the time that I have known him and would be a great asset to any team."
