I worked directly with ••••• for three years in my capacity as Director of Marketing and Field Operations for the Steel Framing Alliance, and he was a valued member of my team. He was an enthusiastic and tireless worker, and was successful in developing the infrastructure necessary for widespread use of CFS in the Gulf Region.
