This guy's alright in my book..
He's done work on and off for us over the past 3 years.. everything from grunt work, banner/header work, blog posts, link trades, text writing, script installations and setups, etc..
If I didn't already have a full time employee and the wife helping, I'd totally hire him full time.. (it's just not in the budget right now).
If you're looking for someone trustworthy to get shit done, he's got a big thumbs up from me.
