I had the pleasure of working with Richard for four years at ATC/AVX. He has exceptional expertise in his field as a Quality Manager. Richard is dedicated, loyal, insightful, independent and is capable of adapting to any work environments. No matter how tense a meeting, Richard made sure everyone left with a smile. Richard earns my highest recommendation and would be an asset to any company.
