I would highly recommend David for your firm and I believe he would be an excellent fit. He is smart, resourceful, logical and creative in his IT solutions, for both lawyers, clerks and C-Suite. He is an amazing problem-solver. Further, he is wonderful to deal with and considerate of all employees when being of assistance. I believe there are very few IT issues that David can't solve on the spot, and, in any event, he will try his best and if necessary he will research the issue and come back with potential ideas. We miss him here at the firm.

--Michael Polvere
Partner, Commercial Litigation Dept., Siskinds LLP

I had the pleasure of working with David when I joined the Marketing department at Siskinds LLP. His extensive knowledge, expertise, and skill set were highly valued by many within the firm. Whenever I needed assistance, David was consistently helpful, thorough, and committed to providing timely resolutions. He also took the opportunity to share tips and insights, which I greatly appreciated. David’s sense of humour made working with him enjoyable, and I am happy to call him a friend. I have no doubt he will bring much value to any organization that brings him onboard.

--Eugene Gutierrez
Former Marketing Specialist, Siskinds LLP

Dave is a hard and dedicated worker. His knowledge of hardware and software is excellent. He has knowledge of older software, stays on top of the software that is current and is eager to learn new software to make the lives of the lawyers, staff, admin and IT smooth and easy. Dave enjoys assisting people when they have a problem and will work with the individual and if needed, the vendor to resolve the issue. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. From Dave's time with Siskinds, he has the knowledge and ability to perform all of the primary responsibilities listed as he did those on a daily basis. I worked very closely with Dave during a period of time when Siskinds was short staffed in our IT Department and I enjoyed that time. He took the time to explain things to me in relation to the tasks I was asked to assist with. I would have no issue \working with him again, and I believe he would be a fine addition to your IT Team.

--Deborah Pepers (Retired)
Former Records Manager, Siskinds LLP

I worked with David Mann for 8 months while contracting at Siskinds. He was very knowledgeable and served as the primary support for all applications. Additionally, he was responsible for creating, removing, and updating all user accounts, as well as preparing their systems. He is process-oriented and will be an excellent resource for anyone who hires him.

--Kevin Hamm
IT Manager, Brown Beattie O'Donovan LLP

David reported to me while I was working at Siskinds LLP from the time that he started there in spring of 2019 until the time that I left in spring of 2022 (3 years). During this time, David worked part-time afterhours in a helpdesk support role. David took on much of the new hire and termination configuration duties. He was able to refine and document processes around configuring new user accounts and devices. David pays strong attention to detail and rarely makes mistakes. He excels at performing repeatable tasks. David is also very empathetic and enjoys helping others learn and use technology effectively. Given the opportunity, I would hire David again.

--Ryan Bryson
Director, Information Technology, P38 Inc.

I worked with David at Siskinds up until 2022. His work there was very detail oriented and meticulous. David would go the extra mile to find the resolution to problems that he was tasked with. David was our primary point of contact for new user setups including both hardware and software. David was also responsible for overseeing several applications and web platforms like Primafact, DocuSign, TitanFile, and Word LX.

--Stu Switzer
Senior Learning & Development Specialist, McKenzie Lake Lawyers LLP

I worked with David for three years and found he was very pleasant to work with solving I.T. issues for the Finance department. David showed a great deal of knowledge regarding his position as I.T. Administrator at London Cross Cultural Learner Centre. He was able to share his knowledge by offering training workshops to staff members so they could refine their skill set with programs like Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook. David was a valued member of our staff and a dedicated professional.

--Barbara Chambers

I have the pleasure of working with Dave at CCLC and since our time working together, he has shown success in managing a heavy workload while responding to ongoing requests related to IT needs for all of the staff at CCLC. He has implemented simple report forms and procedures to help staff accurately report IT activities to be filed in queue.

Dave’s humor and creativity are a welcomed contribution to team settings. Dave took the lead in a staff meeting this year and prepared an icebreaker that was engaging, active and fun—the staff loved it! Dave is reliable, knowledgeable and his ability to execute difficult tasks in a timely manner is a great asset for CCLC.

--Ramona Lucan, Support Service Worker at Community Living London

David is extremely well suited to his chosen path as an information technology trainer and consultant. He is not only extremely knowledgeable in this field, but also a born teacher. He is patient and encouraging, able to help computerphobes overcome their fears and to realise that computers can be extremely useful tools. I have recommended David’s services to several contacts and would continue to do so without hesitation.

--Gabriel Carneiro
MBA Senior IT Strategist, Operations Director and Program Leader.

After a few unsuccessful experiences with Computer Technicians, I found Mr. Mann’s Technical expertise to be superior and his assistance was both personable and professional. He sorted out my new software problems and patiently assisted me to understand and be able to manage my new program. I will continue to use his expertise and highly recommend him.

--Mary L Howard
Personal Client

I want to thank you for all the help you have given me with my PC over the last couple of years. You are an excellent teacher, with very effective listening skills. You explain things clearly and in a logical manner and let me follow your instructions so that I can do it myself the next time. You are often able to help me remotely, which is an efficient way to work. And you are reliable, always coming or phoning on time. I highly recommend you to anyone wanting to improve their computer skills with one-on-one instruction. Having individual instruction is far superior to classes because you get help in the areas you need it. Then you can put your new learning into action right away. Good luck in all your future endeavours.

--Joyce Orchard
Personal Client

It is with great pleasure that I would like to highly recommend the work of Mr. David Mann. Mr. Mann came highly recommended to me by two friends who used his services earlier this year and were very much pleased with his work. My two friends assured me that Mr. Mann was a very knowledgeable and patient instructor and the best choice to help me build and maintain my organization’s web site.

As a computer novice, I was very hesitant about seeking help from anyone with computer knowledge to help me build my web site. I thought an instructor would intimidate me and make me feel foolish and uncomfortable while he explained “web site 101” to me. But after talking with my two friends who recommended Mr. Mann, they assured me that this was not Mr. Mann’s style, and within the first few moments into the first session, I found this to be true.

I felt very comfortable with Mr. Mann’s hands on approach to teaching me what needed to be taught. Mr. Mann was patient throughout my numerous “foolish questions” [my words, not his] and during our session, I never felt he talked down to me. After each session, I always felt wiser than when I began.

By the end of our session, I felt confident that I could perform the rudimentary task that I had found so elusive to me before his guidance. My thanks to Mr. Mann for teaching me how to make my “mountainous” web site implementation task into an understandable and manageable “mole hill.” Again, I would highly recommend without reservation the work of Mr. David Mann.

Like most people I have, on several occasions, run into one sort or another of computer problem. These problems have ranged from finding the most useful resources on the net, to slow download time from my own webpage, to complete hard drive failure. Each of these obstacles proved frustrating for me, but to David Mann, they were merely additional challenges, in a long line of such challenges, to be met with nothing less than complete success. In each and every case this is exactly what he did. I do not hesitate for an instant in recommending Mr. Mann for any and all computer related problems or projects.

--Harry Lerner, B.Sc. Dipl. Hons., Ph.D., Personal Client

I first met David Mann while he and I were students at a career college. I mistook David for a teacher because he was in the midst of assisting a fellow student. David was always available to assist me throughout my six months of study. David proved to me his expertise and knowledge in computer components, software applications and his extensive trouble-shooting abilities. I feel that there is no need to wish David luck for his future, for he doesn’t require it. I know that David will be successful in whichever endeavor he chooses.

--Dennis Brown MCSE

While attending school with David Mann, I found him to be very helpful and knowledgeable. He was always willing to assist me whenever and wherever he could. I always felt very comfortable in asking him for help. He showed patience and understanding while he was assisting me and he made me feel that I could succeed in my studies. I miss having David at school to help and guide me as he had in the past. I wish him all the best.

--Wendy S. Brewer

After taking computer courses, I found a lot of information a bit overwhelming. I met David Mann during preparation for a test, and he helped me understand what I needed to know by coming down to my level and teaching me with the use of analogies that made more sense than the textbooks! When my own computer was breaking down, he patiently led me through the process of developing a faster, more organized system suited for my use, and took the time to make sure I understood what was happening. He gave me the knowledge and tools to keep my computer running smoothly and set up a regular maintenance schedule, which was easy to follow. David’s professional, intelligent approach to these situations has encouraged me to confidently recommend his assistance to friends and family. I have never posed a question that he has failed to answer!
