“I have known Mr. Patel for the last four years. He is a very friendly, outgoing person and a dedicated professional. He has a very thorough knowledge of issues regarding the engineering/scientific field. I have attended many public hearings and observed him make technical presentations. He is very patient with the public and continues until they understand the issue. He is a top notch professional and works well with county staff, elected officials and has an established working relationship and knowledge of regulatory agencies on the state and federal level.”
