When no one else wanted to help or would help, Patrick Salango did. He treated me like a friend and always looked out for what was best for me and my family. He really cares about what he does, and it shows in every aspect of who he is and how he carries himself. Very highly recommended! From my family and I, thank you for everything Patrick!
