Ed Avella is my counterpart in Houston and is quite a rock star down south. Ed and I were the 2 GAR's for Texas until North Texas gave up waiting for the program to work and moved me over to a specialist position. East Texas/Louisiana was patient enough to wait till he got the program ramped up.
Congratulations to Ed! Your doing a great job!
Happy Hunting,
