To Whom it May Concern:
Mark Smith would be an excellent addition to any company facilities department. I have known him for over 20
years, and in that time he has always shown exemplarily character. He is a hard worker and is dedicated to
ensuring that jobs are done right. I am an electrical engineering supervisor at the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), and he has given me advice on how to solve many issues that I have encountered. His
experience in so many different areas gives him the ability to troubleshoot almost any electrical system.
He is also a skilled supervisor. Mark's calm demeanor and sense of fairness gives him the ability to effectively
lead people. His boundless energy has a way of motivating people. I have seen him succeed in all the major
challenges he has faced, and I know that he would be successful at the Olam Cotton.
