Duane is a consistent, dedicated project partner who gets the job done.

R. Gregory (Greg) Ash

From our first meeting Duane's positive outlook made a significant impression on me. He is very thorough and intentional about the decisions he makes. And once they are made, his commitment to them is evident, and contagious. I find myself trying to channel some of that optimism quite often. I am really pleased with the work we created together and look forward to more opportunities in the future.
