    • *My manager's write-up when nominating me for the award: “Since joining the One-Key team, Lucas has been obsessed with building and continuing to improve Milwaukee Tool One-Key's thought leadership space. Last year, in the spirit of never settle, always improving, Lucas brought us up to a new level by building on outreach program with trusted industry publications. As a result, we’re getting thought leadership articles published that build credibility and brand loyalty with our end users and customers. He also uses a one team mentality in featuring Milwaukee Tool CI, Contech, EE, and other experts in the thought leadership articles we publish.”
