I have had the opportunity to work with Lucas over the last 2 years on a green field and a rebuild refinery project. Lucas has always exhibited an energetic tenacity in the performance of his work. His desire to provide a quality project remains constant on each job he undertakes. His thoroughness and dedication to his work is quite apparent as he always performs his activities in a professional and efficient manner. His hands on approach to providing a cohesive project is notable. I look forward to once again working along side Lucas in his future endeavors.
