Jon McClintock
Senior Security Consultant at Leviathan Security Group

Eric knows security, and knows how to drive security within an organization. He's got the right attitude and experience needed to be successful. It was truly a pleasure working with Eric.

Cyrus Durgin
Engineer at Amazon.com

Eric's one of the best people I've worked with in my career. He's smart, easy to get along with and a sharp, quick thinker. His breadth of experience is amazing, but he's always eager to learn from his teammates and does a superlative job mentoring more junior employees. He's never one to shy away from responsibility and doesn't play favorites or let politics get in the way of making good decisions. I'd be happy to work with Eric on just about any project.
