Will has been working at Direction Service since August of 2011 providing custodial services. When an opportunity arose to take on an immense project to scan archived documents, upload to electronic files, and data entry work, Will rose to the occasion. His focus, concentra- tion and attention to detail helped him surpass Direction Service expectations. Will contin- ues to perform his custodial duties, as well as scanning, uploading files and data en- try. His supervisor states, “Will consistently arrives on time, is courteous, pleasant and well-liked by all staff and visitors. Will is conscious of his time management and takes the initiative to ask for additional tasks.” Hiring a person who experiences a disability not only enhances their lives, but enhances the overall quality of living for everyone in our community.
