"While working with David Eby, I came to rely on his breadth of knowledge
regarding both systems and the logical flow of events when planning and
implementing department level projects. He seems well versed in procedural
method, but is also highly capable of creative problems solving. His
instincts regarding the balance between these two methods made all the
difference while working together on a number of important department
initiatives. We took on several of these projects knowing we had strict
limits on available time and resources; we had to offset these limitations
with determination and creativity, sometimes at the expense of elegance.
Mr. Eby's patience and flexibility with regard to these demands did not go
unnoticed. Besides being very smart and creative, Mr. Eby was also very
pleasant to work with. He always worked with a collaborative mindset, which
helped to keep the lines of communication open, and helped propel us past
the finish line on multiple occasions." March 26, 2010
