“Patrick offers professional and innovative GIS solutions for the Water and Wastewater Operations Division of Public Works. He constantly improves the burgeoning citywide GIS applications. He truly is a valuable team member.”

“Patrick was the Senior GIS Specialist providing GIS technical support, server configurations and overall trouble-shooting and services support. He provided technical direction for expansion and upgrades for all the ESRI installations, upgrade, vendor support along with the crucial and critical GIS production environment management. He maintains his composure in a hectic environment that existed in this production facility and is always available for service evaluation and problem resolutions when they occur. He is a pleasure to work with, bringing his focused attention to detail on every project assigned to him. His communication and people skills are excellent, and he has provided innovative GIS environment management and monitoring ideas which we have integrated into our customer support and services model. I can highly recommend him for any GIS management or technical opportunity that he is a part of. I know he will succeed at any challenge that presents itself in a development and/or support role and he is technically well versed and very talented. Everyone who has worked with him has the highest regard for his work ethic and his performance is exemplary resulting in his ability to become a key asset to any production support and management team.”

“I am eager and excited to recommend Patrick. I have known Patrick for the past eight years, during which I’ve been an Account Executive, covering the larger cities of Southern California. During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Patrick as both a customer and a business partner. A delight to work with, Patrick is exceptionally diligent and productive in his efforts. He also has the “holy grail” of GIS skills: the technical acumen to understand, implement and support a GIS platform, and the organizational skills to navigate an agency’s needs and personalities. “Enterprise” truly is the operative word in this position. Patrick is a complete package and simply great to work with. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend him to serve in this key role.”

"Patrick is well versed in Esri-based Enterprise GIS technology including ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. I have found Patrick to be a competent Esri-GIS professional who takes his love of GIS well beyond the workplace. Patrick was often “online” outside of his required work hours, and was more than happy to interact with me at nights and weekends to answer questions or put in extra time when needed. I hope that you will consider Patrick for this key IT position.”

"Patrick’s drive and expertise as a GIS professional coupled with his ingenuity and creative thinking has made him a great partner in promoting solutions for utilities across the country. His ability to juggle multiple complicated projects and to manage the demands from customers at the same time as providing great service enhances this partnership.
