Derick is a very smart person, dedicated to duty and always there to support other areas of operations. He was instrumental on the lubrication project and helped me together saved some $500K to the company. We happened to work on other projects and in all have helped to achieve results. I recommend that having him on your team assures achieving more than 50% success primarily.......the rest is attitude.
