What they’re saying

“I get along really really well with Carlos... and the creative department. I'm a very hands on, opinionated person. I might question the order before I go do it, but I still think I'm a good soldier... if my sergeant or the person above me gives me an order I follow through on that. I definitely am a team player, but man, am I opinionated.”

“I have ideas, I have visions, and nine times out of 10 they kind of see the vision with me. It's not a knock on other places, I've been able to develop that relationship. That was a big key component for me.”
