He is proficient in English. Colleagues describe him as "I worked as a peer with Ricky for a little over a year at ENERCON Sevices. During that time, I was always impressed with his willingness to collaborate and go above and beyond to ensure the success of our projects. Ricky was a great team player in and outside of the office where he supported our North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) Chapter by volunteering for outreach opportunities and participating in our regional conference. I highly recommend Ricky as valuable member of any team.", "I was the Professional Mentor and Engineer in Charge for the Engineers Without Borders team that Ricky served for two years when we went to rural Panama to assess and survey for the construction of a water distribution system for a small community. Ricky's technical and interpersonal skills were a great asset to the team and were a significant contribution to the successful implementation of the system. Ricky quickly developed relationships with the team members and with the local villagers in spite of the language barrier. He was a very valuable member of the team and a great person to be around. Ricky is a smart and quick-witted young engineer who has a bright future ahead of him and comes with my highest recommendation.", and "I have known Ricky since Fall of 2014, when he was a sophomore mechanical engineering student enrolled in the computer programming course I taught at that time at the University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC). Since that time, I worked with Ricky in a variety of capacities, including serving as his instructor for two other courses, serving as a mentor for his undergraduate research work, and supervising his work as a teaching assistant for several courses that I teach. Although I can speak to the high quality of Ricky's work in many of his activities, the undergraduate research he conducted in my lab is particularly noteworthy. Ricky was responsible for securing funding and carrying out testing for a unique project involving the characterization of postural biomechanics in dental clinicians performing a procedure with different types of magnification loupes. This pilot work was the first of its kind and led to larger-scale projects related to kinematics of health care providers. Ricky was also a major contributor to other research projects in my lab, including biomechanical assessment of clinicians performing a simulated intubation procedure, ergonomic evaluation of ophthalmologists, and evaluation of joint forces during use of a novel crutch design developed by a local startup company. On a personal level, Ricky is modest, while at the same time exhibiting a strong sense of determination that I have seen in few other students. He strives for quality, and is often not satisfied with himself until a project has been fully completed. He is dependable, and takes very seriously any endeavor which he sets his mind to. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any appropriate position that he may be considering. Sincerely, Gregory W. King, PhD, PE Associate Chair, Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering School of Computing and Engineering, University of Missouri - Kansas City"
