I've know John professionally for several years, first through RLS Associates. He provided positive feedback on ways to improve operations and policies for our IDOT funded program.

With his knowledge & guidance we continue to have very positive compliance reviews and our programs exceed expectations. Two of John's most exceptional qualities are his ability to speak publicly & his follow through to complete tasks requested.
