        As a self-motivated individual that has proven ability to deliver results, Anthony is valued with high regards.  I had the pleasure of working with Anthony at Dell over a four year span.  He had development (Program Management) responsibilities over multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.  Anthony’s leadership skills were visible as he demonstrated a unique ability to aggressively drive for results, while maintaining a team-oriented environment.   Anthony is highly recommended and would be a valuable addition to any organization looking to benefit from his cross-functional skill set.

        DFX is the acronym that comes to mind when I think about Anthony. I had the pleasure of working with him for over 4 years, during which time we collaborated on the design and introduction of a new generation of fuel dispensers. Above all, I was impressed with Anthony’s ability to identify and simplify designs by challenging us with outside the box recommendations and innovation. And, of course, his openness to others ideas. Anthony would be a true asset for any product development team and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
