When asked about his biggest accomplishment at ATS, Rex shared that it鈥檚 the trust his colleagues place in him to assist with all facets of the contract 鈥� even those beyond his defined role. 鈥淏eing leaned on as a trusted member of the team means a lot,鈥� he says, reflecting his dedication and versatility.
