"Ward, with his company StarLAN Consulting, are the premier provider of telecommunications and networking services for the Inland Northwest region, comprising North Idaho, Eastern Washington, and Western Montana. I worked with Ward on some projects for various commercial and residential customers in that region, and found his professionalism and expertise outstanding. His business grows primarily through customer recommendations, and his reputation for high quality service and products in the area is excellent in all respects."

Reid Lowery, Sr. Program Manager

Microsoft Corporation

Redmond, WA

 

"Ward and I worked together at a prior position for Johnson and Johnson's Lifescan division. It was his hard work, ethics and easy to work with attitude that caused me to recommend him for a role at Microsoft. He ended up here in a different group and we were colleagues for some time. He is a solid individual with a broad knowledge of many technologies."
