"I just want everyone to know I didn't do it alone," said Finch. "My team members are good people to work with. I've had a lot of help along the way."

"This honor means I'm appreciated for the work I do," said Finch. "After 15 years, it's just great to receive an award like this. I'm just doing my job."
