Bill Tripp

Quick to learn and is very detail oriented.

Steve Micklin

We have utilize Laura St. Louis to provide LBP risk assessments for Oceana County rehab/repair projects. We have found her field work to be thorough and professional and our consumers were very pleased with the level of explanation provided them as to what was being done and why. Reports were completed in a timely manner and the presentation of said materials was orderly and easy to process whether by our staff, construction professionals or consumers. Given that experience, I have no concerns at all in reccomending Laura for LBP risk analyses or report writing. Respectfully, Steven Micklin
