Bio
James Botti
Agbenyo and I have spent many hours collaborating on critical thinking projects during our time spent at University. Agbenyo (Edison, as I know him) was great to work with and directly communicated concerns as they developed. We presented an opinion essay on roofing construction to our class of 30 peers. Agbenyo led the project and augmented our presentation with his knowledge of construction standards, sustainability practices, and public speaking skills. He has an undeniable dedication and passion for his work. It was a great pleasure to share ideas and work with Agbenyo due to his contagiously, positive spirit.

I had the pleasure of being Edison’s immediate supervisor for over a year. I found him to be a consistent hard worker, dedicated to helping customers, and always bringing a smile in every situation. Edison is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.
