"Early in my career at Atlantic Electric we purchased a project management methodology and a system development methodology from Tim's company, M. Bryce & Associates. I found Tim to be more than just a vendor selling a product. I viewed Tim as more of a mentor and coach with respect to project management and system development. His products always seemed like just a means to the end. Tim's mentoring and coaching helped me grow professionally more than any class I have ever taken. And you can take it from me, even to this day; Bryce's Laws are spot on."
- Tom Pietropola
