Dan's the Man - March 31, 2008 - 06:17 PM
I've had the opportunity to work with Dan on a number of projects and can easily say he's one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable people I've met. Anyone can see that in action with GINDIE. It's always a pleasure working with Dan. Thanks for the kind words Dan and keep up the awesome work! Looks like things are taking off well!
