My name's Ray Carroll. I work for Sprint as a Lead Retail Consultant and have had the privilege.of working along side John Howard. He may think he is a big guy, but I'll tell you what is really big about him. It is his heart and his compassion towards those he meets. John, as Rob Schnider's many characters often would say in a Happy Madison Production film, you can do it!!!
