providing expert knowledge, analyses, and team involvement, he has been extremely supportive of the ongoing

he is extremely marketable for positions outside the Department, and yet chooses to remain here and work for
the citizens of North Carolina. He exhibits a commitment to his employees and the NC motoring public through
