"In all honesty, I could not make such a strong recommendation without reservation if I did not hold Sal in absolute highest esteem as a person, based on the attributes of his character. He is a solid family man, very active in giving back generously to his community; and I have witnessed his upstanding role in helping others less fortunate time and again."
