LaQuais was an outstanding veteran operator from whom I learned tremendously. He has a wealthy and diverse knowledge of a varied set of skills and training. The man has a steady smile on his face even in the most difficult and challenging of times. I would greatly appreciate working for hime again. A true servant leader.
