Employer Quote:

"John has done and excellent job this year supporting the development of the LG actuation system. In addition to his equipment management responsibilities, John has stepped up as an integral member of the LGAS test rig test team. When the Program requested double shift operation of the rig, John willingly accepted the task of leading second shift testing. This was a challenge given his experience level and John has grown tremendously as a result of this challenge. While operating the rig in the evening with little guidance, John has done an excellent job of troubleshooting the numerous issues that have come up and providing ever improving documentation in his test logs."
