You rock Keith. I'm very impressed. I just checked that reddit thread and i appreciate you really hustling to build those relationships. - Brian Woodring

Incredible impact, Keith. Referrals for some critical needs, first 2 day Speaker Workshop completed to help train more evangelists, and mentoring the Capstone group who helped prototype RPA functionality. And this was all in just 1 week! - Kristina Kolbas

We appreciated you taking your time to attend and participate! Lots of excellent feedback coming in, quite a few attendees responded to our survey and specifically mentioned enjoying your talk. - John Hubbarth, QL Summit

Thank you Keith, for volunteering your time and effort and sharing your knowledge about Lucid. It was great to see how you and your team leverage this suite of tools so creatively. As always, your presentation was engaging, informative, and fun. Great job! - Bryant Bayles

Just wanted to say great job and thanks for taking the time to provide this simple, easy to read documentation to get folks going with it. The new version of Rock.Framework looks awesome! You guys have built some truly valuable stuff. - Bryan Bedard, Director Architecture, Amrock

Keith is an excellent communicator--whether speaking internally or externally. He created a class to spread his knowledge and is not working on speaker guidelines to help certify Quicken Loans team members to speak externally. He is truly an outstanding communicator. - Anonymous

Keith Elder’s impact on the local software development community was one of the reasons I was excited to join QL. From acting as the MC for events like Codemash a few years back to more recently helping plan the QL Tech Conference, Keith continues to be a great evangelist for QL Technology! - Anonymous

Keith, is awesome! He has more stories than skyscraper, and is a master of his craft in so many ways. He’s an excellent communicator and spokesperson; an excellent engineer; an excellent angler; he can plan the best parties; and he has the respect of all of us here at QL! I enjoy working with Keith every day and appreciate all that he contributes to our team and company. - Anonymous

When we look back over the past 14 years there are so many things that have been accomplished that you have been a part of whether as an engineer, a leader or an evangelist. Your presence, warmth and willingness to help is something that I truly admire about you. I feel very honored and privileged to work with you but also to call you a friend. - Anonymous

Mobius team rocks, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else, I'm truly grateful we took the time to do this right. - Bryan Lyons

I was nervous about being on a panel for the first time at the QL Tech Conference but you made me feel at ease. You gave us a ton of great tips to help prepare us but also to make us want to be good. That’s what you do…you want us to be our best and represent this company in the best possible way. Thank you for 14 years of caring and for making us better. - Stacey Basa

Your leadership and vision has opened up a world of opportunity for many folks, including myself. I am forever great full. - Jasen Sams

Thanks again for your presentation on “Productivity - How to Get Things Done in Digital Age”… it was very helpful! - Annette Witczak

I was most nervous about the demo, but that went smooth. I got the hang of ZoomIt and zoomed when I should, and remembered to toggle the VS Editor full-screen mode, and used PhraseExpress to accomplish some auto-completes instead of typing in the full code blocks. I appreciate those tips, Keith! - Tonya Cooper

This Thursday, October 17, 2019, I presented my talk titled ‘From Zero to Machine Learning in 45 Minutes’ at Tech Con ‘19. With Zero experience of presenting at such a large stage. All I had was an idea and a big picture of what I wanted to present. The talk ended up generating 11 - 5 Star reviews from the audience. These guys trained me, worked selflessly and tirelessly around the clock to improve me, give me honest feedback, watch me present, fumble, get nervous over and over again. They helped me polish my ideas, my presentation, my slides, my speech, my tone, my presence until I got it just right. My journey may as well as be called ‘From Zero to Presenter in 45 days’. Thank you guys for all the hard work, patience, persistence and for working with me and your trust in me. I owe it to you guys. Thanks you so much! I really appreciate you guys and all the help to make my presentation a huge success! - Harnoor

We are down here at Gartner’s EA and innovation conference this week and Mike presented a case study on QL’s journey through Agile. I just wanted to let this team know that he knocked it out the the park! From the layout, information and loads of engaging questions it was one of the better sessions. I’m not being biased. We need to leverage this talk again! It’s not just talk either it’s Mike’s influence and direction on how we are transforming as an IT team. Thank you Sarah and Keith for working with Mike on putting this together! Nice job Mike! - Pat Hartford

I really like your presentation. It was touching about your family story. - Arunee Niamlarb

Keith is a team member with high standards. He does everything in a first class manner. He has been driving force behind core framework and has introduced lots of programming framework and technologies to QL. - Anonymous, Gilbert Award Nomination

I loved your talk and got a lot from it. In my opinion it’s been the best keynote I’ve attended. Also loved your track on Erlang and surviving the Super Bowl. Very enjoyable and very informative. You’ve renewed a spark in me to discover new technologies and want to better myself as a developer. - Christopher McWilliams
