Sam was extraordinarily, responsive, flexible, intuitive, fun to work with, and ... extremely fast. He had the first draft of the entire piece done in three days, and we probably spent a total of three weeks on it, but could have finished it faster if I was quicker to respond to his emails. His turnaround on a set of changes was generally one to two days which blew me away. I highly recommend Sam for arranging work.
