I had the pleasure of working with James on a daily basis for nearly two years in his position as Senior Project Manager at Private Garden Greenhouse Systems. He is highly skilled at conceiving new ideas and fully comprehending the scope of projects from initialization to completion. His technical expertise was always valued and appreciated. James never took a back seat when project issues arose, but would be ready to present creative ideas for problem resolutions. James is an asset and a consummate professional.
