“Nobuyuki Ootsuna leads by example, trains and communicates effectively, and makes the work worthwhile for everyone. His commitment and will to succeed in tough environments is inspiring. Adding to his already accomplished body of work, he is trilingual and able to speak fluent Spanish, English and Japanese. I watched him take classes to learn a third language while working full shifts, so that he would be able to better communicate with his staff.”
