Bio
Matthew Stavert
I have known Rob for several years now, and have had the pleasure of interacting with him on a professional level at the ATLE, and on various work sites, in the company of peers. Simply put, Rob is one of the most technically competent people I know. Rob's attention to detail, and strive to, "Get it right the first time" is matched by almost no other. From a social and ethical perspective, Rob always does the, "Right thing", in pressure cooker situations, even when it not the popular course of action. I look forward to interacting professionally with Rob in the future, as his professional career continues to advance.
