Roland has the rare combination of being dependable, amicable, creative, and focused at the same time. As an intern on Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles I looked to Roland for guidance and information in the sometimes confusing and intimidating world of the animation industry. Roland may not realize it be in a way I considered him as a kind of mentor. In him I found someone I could look up to as an example of professional integrity, outstanding creativity, hard work, and dedication. I'm sure that every project he has worked on has benefited from his first to arrive last to leave attitude.
