Value

"Perry has a gift for spotting the unique contributions each person brings to a team, then pulling in whatever resources are needed so they can do great work with minimal interventions. While working on a high profile project together he kept the management off my back so I could execute my job with maximum speed, minimal interruptions, and unprecedented success. Perry's insight also extends to projects and systems, where his keen eye and extensive experience enables him to identify risks and mitigate them long before anyone else even notices them. And if you pay attention to Perry's methods you'll notice the genius behind even the little things he does that pay off large dividends as a project or team develops"
- Manufacturing Engineer, Medical Device Industry

"Perry is a strong project manager who seeks to cut out unnecessary overhead and drive efficiencies into everything he works on"
- Mechanical Engineer, Medical device industry

"Perry was my primary advisor for my senior design capstone project in the 2007-2008 school year. I led an especially difficult senior design team and Perry gave sound advice on sustaining team motivation that produced substantial results. Our team was not expected to complete all the required tasks, but in the end I was able to lead the team to completing the project and going well beyond the general capstone and project requirements. All that the team accomplished could not have happened without Perry's sound knowledge of project management and leadership. Whenever I had a question Perry quickly responded with good advice. He made sure he made time for every student that requested his time and made a solid effort to get to know every project and student as best he could- despite the fact that there were over sixty students total running twelve to fifteen different projects."
- Student, University of Saint Thomas

"During the five-year period when I represented the Army customer on the Crusader vehicle development program at UDLP, Perry was an excellent analyst and engineer. He was incredibly professional and hard-working, and was respected as an expert on robust analysis and design of experiments (DoE). He authored and led a trade study to establish redundant methods for orienting the main weapon (which could shoot a hundred-pound projectile over 20 miles), and the Army adopted his recommendation. He eventually worked on and improved many other facets of the three related vehicles (two tracked, and one wheeled). He always had an excellent reputation among the government program office and Army user staff"
