I had the pleasure of working with and becoming friends with Barnabas over the course of a couple of years. I've been consistently impressed with the multitude of quite diverse tasks he handles gracefully both in his professional and personal life. Barnabas does a great job learning all there is to know in his realms of work. He listens intently to anyone with knowledge and asks engaging questions even when he himself is one of the most knowledgeable on the subject. He's constantly encouraging with his words, and brings a positive disposition to any setting. Barnabas also deserves praise for his ability to connect his networks together to make mutually beneficial partnerships.
