“Dave, thank you so very much for securing such an outstanding apprentice. You really found a rock star. I am so impressed with her eagerness, intelligence, and terrific follow up. I put her on my most important project and she is already ahead of schedule and produced results that I would have expected only from a seasoned professional. I am so excited to see what we can accomplish this year. Thank you again.”
