RMG Connect - Senior Interactive Developer
July 23, 2008"Marc is always there to not only help, but to assist you in helping yourself. He constantly drove me to improve my processes, methods, code and outlook. He's an extremely bright, motivated, talented and friendly individual who will improve any team he works with. Truly one of the more talented people I've had the pleasure of working with."
Lyle Goding, Senior Interactive Developer, RMG Connect - worked directly with Marc at RMG Connect
July 16, 2008"Working with Marc as a colleague and a teammate was a real pleasure on a couple of levels. His good nature and willingness to solve a problem that he maybe wasn't directly involved with made him a superb employee and teammate. The vitality he injected into project work, born out of his inquisitive personality, always delivered above expectations. Factor all of that into the talent and drive he possesses to create and make 'things' happen and you have one of the best interactive resources around. It's guys like Marc who you hate to see leave your own inner circle and hope you cross paths again - after they have gone off and forged new territory and taken their game to a whole new level. It's guys like Marc who teach the rest of us."

John Kalagidis, Sr Information Architect, RMG Connect - worked with Marc at RMG Connect
May 19, 2008"Marc was the most dedicated person I have ever worked with at RMG Connect. He would take on his tasks with deterimination and exceed expectations. I could always count on Marc to make the best decisions and if he ever had a question or issue he would never sit on it but bring it forward and help find a resolution that was met with best practices and the clients best interest. If I was ever given a chance to recommend Marc as 'the best person for the job' I would tell the employer if they didn't hire him they would be making a very grave mistake. He's one in a million."

November 15, 2007"Marc was responsible for transforming the conceptual product that was designed for our website into a usable set stylings and html that could then be applied by our team to the rest of the site. I was greatly impressed by his level of customer service, quality, and attention to detail especially in ensuring the cross-browser functionality of his work product. He was very easy to work with and responded quickly and accurately to any requests my team had. When the time came for some more work to be done to assist our team, I requested Marc be the resource that was assigned to the task for all the aforementioned reasons."

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
RMG Connect Rockstar Award
RMG Connect Minneapolis (90+ employees) gives out an internal award called, "The Rockstar Award". I was the third in the company to recieve this award.
"RMG [Minneapolis] and I owe Marc Grabanski a great deal of gratitude. Marc has not only stepped up to plate in the absence of [a key developer] on the Ovations IT projects, he has hit one out of the park. Under a tremendous amount of pressure and short time constraints, Marc has proven his ability [to] take charge and lead others in development, demonstrated his ability to train and mentor new developers in a very demanding and complex environment, and established his ability to work extremely well in the face of the client.
Marc, PDP 3.0, MMC, AMC, and Ovations Health would not have gotten done without you.
Thanks - Bret"
