His contributions allowed for growth between our two companies including more business and tighter relations. Since that time it has been really cool to see Quentin continue to progress in his career and other endeavors; no doubt bringing that same passion and skill set I experienced when we worked together back at AAP and FM.  Marjace Miles -F150 Lighting Product Marketing Manager
