Sherwyn is an energetic, positive problem-solver and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat for any position that involves exceptional customer support, process improvement, and/or technical troubleshooting. Not only does he "get it done" but he does so with an inspiring attitude that is contagious to those around him. He's a valuable asset on any team that is fortunate enough to have him on their side.
