If I had an organization full of Alan Woods. Alan is the kind of person you can count to do whatever it takes to deliver on his task and personal commitment. On more than one occassion Alan taught himself the necessary skills (mechanical or software based) in order to personally contribute or manage those he supervised. I consider any company fortunate to have Alan's services and spirit.
