To Whom It May Concern:

I have had the privilege of working with Michael Blair for several years

now and simply cannot speak highly enough of his integrity, attention to

detail, commitment to increasing efficiency, and ability to process vast

amounts of work under tight time constraints. These strengths, coupled

with his technical capabilities, will help any organization ensure their

future success.

Michael's ability to view a task without allowing paradigms to cloud his

thought process is an incredibly beneficial asset. He grasps ideas with

ease, takes them, expands upon them, and then molds them into a

sustainable, efficient process while gaining the buy-in of all necessary

shareholders. He has gained valuable knowledge in many functions vital to

being a strong quality assurance/production manager, both on a technical

and a staff development level.

He successfully integrated new programs and procedures into the technical

services, quality assurance, and the production areas of our major

manufacturing facility during our recent merger. As a result of the recent

changes, Michael now embodies the strengths required to be a change agent

himself.

I appreciate you taking the time to consider Mr. Blair for your

organization. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to

contact me. I can be reached by email (**************@*****.***) or by

phone 205-***-****).
