Gotta Go, Fish On!!!
Joan Newman, Lead SQL DBA, SQL Server DBA professional mentor, JIMMS Contract - Houston:
"As a DBA, Tom has an outstanding performance record. His attention to detail and conscientious efforts have been a great asset to the DBA group and clients. Tom always goes above and beyond what is required and as a result, I've never had to worry about the servers or databases under his watch. He has a delightful personality with a great sense of humor and I've enjoyed working with him. He will be missed and I wish him the best!"

Mirley Balasubramanya, Ph.D., Chair, Department of Physical & Environmental Sciences:
"Tom is an extremely valuable member of our departmental staff. No matter what problem faculty ask him to solve Tom comes up with a workable solution and implements it immediately with zero guidance and supervision. He is very thoughtful and skillful. I have no idea how someone like him can be replaced."
Timothy Causgrove, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry:
"It has been our pleasure to work with Tom in the Physical & Environmental Science Department at TAMU-CC, and I heartily recommend him for an industrial position. Tom has a broad array of knowledge and expertise. Tom has used his training to update and maintain our computer network and revamp our waste management procedures. The latter item alone has saved the university a great deal of money. In addition to using his training in chemical engineering and computer science, Tom has helped me with electrical and mechanical problems associated with my research in physical chemistry. I should also add that Tom doesn't just work on problems, he attacks them. He has been the person that we all go to when we need to get something done. Given his experience and abilities, Tom has been under-employed at TAMU-CC, but we have enjoyed it while it lasted. If you would like to contact me regarding this recommendation, please contact me.
Patrick Larkin, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry:
"Tom Tyler has been a tremendous asset to our program. He is intelligent, motivated, hard-working and resourceful. He takes initiative and works creatively to solve the numerous problems that arise in the management of a large department. He has a great deal of experience in administrative tasks, handling of chemicals, hazardous waste, instrumentation, computers and information networks. He is a pleasure to work with, always cheerful and helpful. He has taken a great deal of responsibility upon himself, relieving the faculty of a number of departmental or infrastructure-related tasks that would otherwise take time away from their primary teaching, administrative and research-related responsibilities. I am very sorry to see him leave but wish him the best of luck. He will be hard to replace."
Jack Southard, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry:
"If you are looking for a steadfast, intelligent, enthusiastic, and reliable employee – look no further! Mr. Thomas G. Tyler possesses these traits and more. His résumé is most replete with positive merit, but you need to meet with this man to know precisely what I am talking about.
I first met Tom during the fall of 2005; I had just arrived from another university and he went out of his way to assist me with setting up my research lab. His wealth of knowledge, his contacts, and his keen insight enabled me to obtain high quality instrumentation at a dramatic savings. What’s more is that Mr. Tyler does these types of tasks in a most expedient and efficient fashion.
Irrespective of status Mr. Tyler offers his professional assistance to each and every individual he encounters. I have personally witnessed Tom helping students with the same zeal and professionalism he has provided me. Such modesty and commitment is most rare. I should add that Mr. Tyler possesses a keen sense of humor that has helped foster a better working environment in our department.
Mr. Tyler has the distinct ability to “connect” with whom he is interacting with. Whether the task at hand is of a technical nature (e.g. “computer networking”) or a scientific nature (e.g. “chemical reactivity”), Tom is able to provide insight and solve problems or answer questions to those who come his way. Furthermore, Tom treats people fairly, equally, and with a sense of respect that is well beyond the norm.
It has been a distinct pleasure to write a letter of support for Mr. Thomas G. Tyler! All of us will miss Tom for he has impacted our department in a most positive fashion. I suspect that in no time at all you will share in my enthusiastic support of this outstanding individual."
