He's always thinking. Ricardo is a team player that you want on your team. He has exceptional people skills and a great work ethic.

"Ricardo is the most good-natured, principled and diligent person I have ever worked with. It was truly inspiring to work next to him in good times and bad. The phrase "above and beyond the call of duty" was coined in his honor. Oh and of course, he's an excellent designer and project manager."
