Dear Jason.
I'd like to thank you for all the hard work and effort you've put into the projects you've been an integral part of over the past two years.
Your hard work and dedication on the Overland Park Marriott exterior renovation project was instrumental in making that project a success. The $8 million renovation of the entire 11-story exterior was a safely run and well managed project.
The effort you put in on the $20 million, 5-story, 160,OOOSF Renner Corporate Centre also demonstrated your dedication and commitment to the success of the project. Along with the Renner Corporate Centre building your direction of the Renner Boulevard improvements for the City of Lenexa was also much appreciated?
Unfortunately, with the absence of work due to the economic conditions we are in we have to reduce our work force in order to survive as a company.
I would gladly recommend your capabilities to anyone that might be considering utilizing your talents.
