While working with Kevan at USAS, I found him to be a talented designer and a great resource. His knowledge of fire sprinkler and alarm systems is very impressive. Although we worked in different segments of the business, Kevan was always willing to help me understand the details of how systems work, why certain equipment or devices are needed and code requirements... Kevan is a great asset to have on your team
