Those who believe democracy is a good thing are unwittingly
acquiescing to mob rule while allowing a tiny elite 'priest class'
manipulate the masses. Let's ignore government, relegions, mass
media, banks & schools - turn our backs on it all at once and
forget it ever existed. Let's garden!

Recommendations For Joe
“Joe was the driving force in getting the Burlington Linux Users Group started. I was with the group from the beginning, but Joe was definitely the driver that got it going and the reason that over 5 years later that it is still going strong. I enjoy observing Joe's interactions with the other members of the group at the meetings. He is a good communicator and can speak the tech talk equally as well with an experienced user as with a newbie. He is very creative and brings interesting and new topics to the meetings. He is excellent at sharing his knowledge of the Linux operating system and eager to help others in the group with any questions they may have.” September 14, 2008

Finance, NEL Frequency Controls, Inc.
worked directly with Joe at Burlington Linux User Group
“Joe has been very adept at finding topics and technologies for us to discuss at the Burlington Linux User Group meetings, and demonstrates his years of managerial and administrative experience in his skilled guidance of these meetings. I have been as impressed by his demonstrated body of knowledge as I have been with his willingness to admit the things he doesn't know and learn from those with more experience in those areas - a refreshing trait I've rarely seen in my professional life.” March 4, 2008

Administrator, Hunter Automated Machinery

“Joe listens more intently than anyone I have ever met. You immediately feel that he has really HEARD and understood what you have said. The questions he then asks prove that he has heard you well. He is enthusiastic, positive, can-do, inventive, resourceful, sincere and detail-oriented. His knowledge of Linux and how Linux can play a very valuable role in the enterprise is tremendous. His ability to learn new things and the ability to envision new uses for older things is outstanding. I would enthusiastically recommend Joe to anyone. His integrity is superlative.” March 1, 2008

Kenneth Wolcott
hired Joe as a IT Consultant in 2003, and hired Joe more than once
“In some regards Joe is a motivator. I often find myself wondering what Joe is in to now. Because he brings ideas or thoughts that wouldn't occur to me. When ever I see Joe at user group meetings or where ever, I want to know what is Joe involved in now. A quick discussion will often bring more thoughts on how computers work or even how I should look at them. He motivates me.” February 22, 2008
