Technically competent, honest, candid and reliable; he can skillfully direct the technical aspects of a program as well as the people that make it all come together. His skill set and experience make him an excellent cradle to grave manager. I would welcome his presence on any job.”

“I worked with Wayne when I served as Chief Counsel for the Nashville International Airport. It was an exciting time for the Nashville Airport with millions of dollars of projects underway tied to establishment and growth of the American Airlines hub. Wayne was the lead designer for many of the projects which were being accomplished under extremely tight time schedules. He was a tremendous leader and team player. Not only did he provide the design leadership to successfully implement that huge aggressive program, he did so in such a professional way that he remains a close friend to this day.”
