The following is a testimonial from Lisa Daniels, News Correspondent for NBC Today Show and Nightly News, she writes:

"...I wanted to tell you how great one of your employees is - Hoss Warner. this is not the first time I've worked with him - and on every occasion, I've been so impressed with his efficiency, speed, and competence. He is always ready to work...and more than that...always going the extra mile to have our live shot be perfect. I've never heard a "no" from him - it's always "we can make that happen"...and I thought you should know. His talents are extraordinary - that alone merits praise. But his positive attitude also should be mentioned - such a pleasure to work with!!! We rarely write letters saying how happy we are with someone...I thought Hoss deserved one. Thanks, Lisa Daniels
