Wayne Saunders was a joy to work with at General Dynamics. He consistently delivered practical advice and gained the long-term trust of his colleagues. What set Wayne apart from other BTS Tech Support Specialists was his ability to carefully listen to each person and discover what their individual needs are. He always made himself available; offered immediate, visible results; and found methods to help his team to work more efficiently. I am so impressed with his professionalism that I want others to know of his accomplishments. Wayne has proven himself to be exceptional, and he is definitely worth getting to know. Sincerely, Kiana Lawyer CSMM Deputy Program Support Manager, QSSI

Wayne is an ideal IT technician. There are stereotypes in the industry about IT support staff and techies--Wayne destroys these stereotypes. Professional and dedicated to his craft, he also brings a kind, friendly, warm presence to his work. He does not treat others as inferiors, but gladly provides top quality service.
