I worked with Lewis for almost 3 years and it was awesome. He is a super hard-working individual and really cares about his team. Lewis has worked on the most impressive aquarium exhibits I have seen in my life. He always came up with creative ideas to support our marketing campaigns and for that, I am forever grateful. I miss his energy in the workplace.
