Dear Sir/Madam;

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Jason Montez. Jason worked for us at Argyle Security Group in our San Antonio office until his employment was terminated only as a result of a distressed financial restructuring plan. Jason was pleasant with an even tempered personality and the ability to foster positive relationships.

Jason is knowledgeable and experience person in all aspects of the procurement process. His technical knowledge, extensive experience, and can do attitude is unparalleled. His relationships with vendors was extraordinarily strong and led to better pricing and delivery terms.
