    Ricardo is excellent, across the board. We couldn't say enough about how great it was to work with him - professional, timely, great communicator, super-skilled at his craft, the list goes on. We will happily work with Randall any time there is the opportunity. I would also like to comment that the only reason this project's timeframe was so extended was because of Inksoft and their issues, never once because of Ricardo. Maybe above all is his genuine concern for the quality of his work and making the client walk away happy.
