Wave of Gratitude to Douglas Haub, Administration, PIE

Douglas has been tremendously helpful with some complex puzzles. He is solution-oriented and a creative problem-solver. There has been more than one occasion when I’ve approached him with a need (“Is there a way to figure out xyz…?” or “What would be an efficient way to accomplish abc?” or “I need this system to collect/provide this information to this other system so that I can do 123”) and he takes it on. He will put in long hours and will test out more than one solution. I am impressed, too, with the laborious investment he has made in continually growing his advanced ctcLink/analyst skills.

Douglas is not a technical “fix-it” guy – he is so much more: he’s a deep thinker and an organizational engineer, looking to build new and better ways for us to be. And he wants others to learn and grow with him. He collaborates so well and earnestly wants to be part of building a better Shoreline. Submitted anonymously.
