Jean Lucas, CEO of Eco Waste Solutions, remarked: “I nominated Neil for this award and I think that everyone who works with Neil can attest that it is well deserved. The work he is doing is very important and will have positive impacts on the lives of warfighters. Th fielding of well-designed thermal waste conversion systems that are safe and easy to use will help end reliance on open burn-pits at overseas contingency operations. As Neil’s responsibility level has grown he has always risen to meet the challenge. I often receive compliments on Neil’s work ethic and professionalism from our partners and customers.”
Congratulations, Neil – we’re very proud of you!
