To Whom It May Concern:

As President of Foley Technologies, Inc, I have had the distinct pleasure in working with Mr. Troy McCurry on high liability products while he was employed with Abbott located in Liberty, S.C. We have concurrently engineered Abbott’s products from the early concept phase, to prototyping, through production tooling all seamless into high volume manufacturing. As we have developed these programs, I learned he is well versed in many manufacturing processes including but not limited to thermoplastic & thermoset injection, compression and transfer molding, precision metal stamping both short run & progressive, plus CNC & Automatic Swiss and multi-spindle machining. It has truly been a pleasure in working with Troy as he has excellent interpersonal skills and is able to communicate effectively with a wide variety of personnel to include Product Managers, Tooling Engineers, Quality personnel, as well as Design & Manufacturing Engineers. Troy and I have worked together for 17 years. I anxiously await the next project we can concurrently engineer as he has been a true professional and joy to work with. Thank you.
