Clients like to see that an engineer is responsive, decisive and concise.

Aaron has shown, time and time again that he can take the lead with providing feedback to the owner and construction team when these issues arise. He provides quick responses with concise direction to the team in a timely manner. Aaron takes initiative and checks in with the PM and does everything that he can to keep deliverables on track.
