To Whom It May Concern:
I had the benefit of having Michael Meier as part of my team on my last project prior to retirement.
From January 2016 thru the end of that year, we performed field and detail OSP engineering on 3 separate fiber projects, including permit and CRO/MRE preparation. These projects covered FTTH, FTTCS, and backbone for a total of 700+ sites and 3800 miles.
Michael was an integral part of our success. He is a dedicated, ethical worker, and loyal team member who is on the job site till completion. His knowledge of OSP design and construction is based on experience and practical application.
Michael is dedicated to the project at hand. He has always shown the willingness to take on the position or responsibility that is most appropriate for the success of the team and project. However, he is a natural leader and will take the time to share his knowledge with others, while still maintaining objectives.
Michael is a good citizen; whose principles and skills are an asset to any team.
