technical knowledge and personalized customer service has set the standard for our
entire team. “He has a real connection with all those he works with and garners respect
within all levels of the organization and industry,” Braffitt said in a statement. “While I hate
to see him go, I am also very happy for him. I wish him health and happiness in
