I was fortunate enough to be able to intern with Homan for a summer. Homan was extremely helpful and frequently went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Although he always had much work to complete, he always made time to help me when needed. I very much enjoyed the summer I spent at Solar Junction and Homan's dedication to the company and great rapport with the team was greatly appreciated.
