To Whom It May Concern:

This letter will introduce Ryan McKnight, an ex-employee and extremely capable professional.

Ryan first worked for me during the summer and fall of 2007, when he was still a student at Westminster College. He also worked for us during Christmas break that same year. His tasks included computer data base work, sales, marketing, and product development. He proved more than capable in all of these areas.

As one who has both started and acquired a significant number of businesses since 1971, I can say without equivocation that Ryan easily “fits” into the top five to ten percent of all of the entry-level workers employed by me in those companies. Ryan is a “see the ball/hit the ball” type of individual who, and while willing to take instruction without complaint, also shows great initiative in terms of accomplishing his given goals.

Finally, Ryan is also a very quick study; I attribute this trait to both his natural intelligence as well as his insatiable curiosity about life in general and business in particular. (In other words, he is not afraid to ask questions.)

In short, I can, and without hesitation, recommend Ryan to consistently and with great skill perform virtually any entry and/or secondary-level task in any professional organization .

Sincerely,


Ron Morris
Director – Entrepreneurial Studies Program
Duquesne University
