        Alan’s confidence in his abilities and accountability for others is contagious.  He leads by holding others to high standards not beyond their potential and expects the same from himself.  As much as a teacher, he is a learner; actively seeking out relevant opinion and sound advice.  Alan creates bonds with others that result in good working relationships and friendships.  He is definitely one that you can count on.
