As the sole project manager for this work, he oversees a wide range of facility improvements, playgrounds, black top fing, painting, flooring, and smallcale HVAC, plumbing, electrical projects, and so much more. Throughout the short summer season, he has been inal integral is initiating or completing and is very likely due to

002Mr. Brand's leadership all the work that we're getting done through MCMM for all 40 APS buildings. A monu monumental task for any team, let alone for a team of one being led by him. His ability to coordinate, execute, and deliver results across such a broad scope is nothing short of remarkable. But beyond those management duties, he's also a trusted source of support and guidance to many of his team members. He works closely with them on emergencies and complex issues. And one thing about him, he's always calm, clear, and brings solutions. He's collaborative, and has deep knowledge, which makes him such an indispensable part of our team. And in a field where sometimes we always hear the complaints and what's going wrong, let me take this opportunity to share a light on what's going right and

003that's your leads. Oh, >> thank you.
