      • I had the absolute pleasure of being trained in my position as an operations manager by Mr Lewis Castellanos. Luis showed me so much in our short time together. Not only was he incredibly focused and detail-oriented, but he took the time to explain and demonstrate the concepts he was attempting to teach. Far beyond the average person who is tasked with teaching someone how to do a job, he actively placed on loan his tools of the trade. Mr Castellanos exhibited a passion for doing the job, and doing it the right way, as well as helping other people understand why. Though we did not have much time working in the same circles, his reputation far preceeded him and I was aware of his accomplishments and work ethic far before ever meeting him in person. I had heard nothing but positive things from his branch, and seeing the success that his teams had demonstrated in the time leading up to our first introduction was nothing short of impressive. No matter the team, or the industry, I believe that Luis Castellanos would be an incredible asset to whoever is lucky enough to bring him on board.I had the absolute pleasure of being trained in my position as an operations manager by Mr Lewis Castellanos.
