Drawing from his staff and community their opinions and thoughts at every turn to ensure the best choices are made with regards to the success of the companies vision in real terms, he brings a ‘no BS’ attitude, often cutting down foolish and false ideologies and whimsical beliefs which threaten to undermine humanities safety and progress in the region.
