Bio
Curtis Hoskins, MA
Ross is a very effective employee. He constantly strives to learn new techniques and improve his knowledge and productivity for his work. Ross is responsive, proactive, hard working and dedicated, and could be counted on to do what it took to get the job done. I know that he is 100% bought in to the team and company mission, and was willing to take all steps necessary in the performance of his job to do it well- not only for the employee, but on behalf of the customer and the company. He works well with team members from other departments to ensure that his projects have all the necessary expertise and collective knowledge they need to be successful. He provides the highest quality possible in his work and looks for ways to continually improve his services to please his customers and business associates. I highly recommend Ross as a loyal, dedicated, and hard-working person who will get the job done right, the first time, and in a very efficient manner.
