    Roy Barrera Jr. is someone you meet and are immediately struck by the calm that you feel because of the way he treats everyone.As I try and find words to describe him further I find myself only rephrasing old cliches used to describe a person with his achievements so I will refrain from doing that.I would say that he is basically a man of high character that knows his craft.
