Great Results, Personable, Expert

"Having just passed his Oracle 10g Certified Master (OCM) (an extremely rare qualification indeed!), Darron taught me the 10g Real Application Clusters class. Without exaggeration, I can state that Darron's RAC class was orders of magnitude better than any other IT class that I have taken, and that it was because of his superior knowledge of the subject. I have made this comment about Darron numerous times to my DBA colleagues ever since I sat his class. Darron's Oracle knowledge is encyclopedic. He can answer not only any question about RAC, but also about any other aspect of Oracle, both in new technology areas, such as ASM, and the fundamentals, such as SQL*Net, memory, and PL/SQL. Every participant in his RAC class responded positively to his easy-going teaching style, which is a positive leadership trait. Finally, the significance of the OCM cannot be overstated. It means that Darron passed a high-pressure, two-day, hands-on lab examination that covers the full depth and breadth of the Oracle product, including performance tuning, data warehousing, RAC, Data Guard, and other advanced subjects. A very low percentage of the candidates who take the OCM manage to pass it. His OCM is a true sign of Darron's Oracle technical expertise." January 6, 2009

Great Results, Expert, High Integrity

"Darron is one of the smartest and most personable (can you say that about a DBA?) DBA's that I have ever worked with. He is technically very good at what he does, is trustworthy, reliable, and, while he worked with us, represented himself and the company extremely well. One of the most remarkable things about him is his ability to network, and he truly wants to help others --- in today's world, where most are out for me, myself and I, that's a great quality to possess. He will continue to touch and help make the organization better even after he's gone. You can't say that about a lot of people working out there anymore!" June 16, 2009
