“I have known Ken Sturgeon in a variety of capacities for nearly two decades. He is regarded as one of the most skilled Database Administrators within our organization. I was tasked with onboarding him into the tech field long ago. He has since grown to be an extremely competent programmer, a top-notch DBA, a wonderful co-worker as well as someone I would happily call a friend. Ken is efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable. He’s an extremely hard-working individual who does not know the meaning of cutting corners. He’s humble. He will state if thise is something he does not know. After that, he will go and figure it out. He very much excels at creating order around complicated, fast-moving, enterprise-level software projects. The volume of clients he is currently supporting is impressive. Each client has multiple databases and varying stages of progress and he somehow keeps it all straight. In addition to his strengths as a technical asset, Ken is a wonderful person with which to work. He is generous, warm, and honest. He may seem hardheaded at times; I say that as a friend. I promise that this is an asset that you want. He will also strongly advocate for the best solution for the client and for the organization. At the same time, Ken is not just willing to bend to a new idea but is legitimately excited when he gets to learn something new. He is an impressive individual; professionally as well as the personally. In summary, I highly recommend Ken for any position or endeavor that he may seek to pursue. He will truly be an asset for any organization. ”
