Choosing Allen over all other candidates when hiring for the position of Assistant Construction Manager for Toll Brothers’ first multi-family project in Arizona was one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made. Allen instantly absorbed any and all information he could glean from fellow co-workers, supervisors and subcontractors. His extraordinary ability to quickly learn and comprehend technical information and skills was surpassed only by his exceptional talent in immediately putting such knowledge to use. When not tackling the rigors of managing subcontractors and verifying the work of various trades, Allen distinguished himself to homeowners by effectively and efficiently managed their expectations. As a result, I received several customer surveys that specifically commend Allen for his excellent communication skills and professionalism. Allen Blaz continually exceeded all expectations and demonstrated unlimited potential in any pursuit he undertakes. He is a self-starter whose motivation and constant desire to excel is contagious in a professional environment. Much of the success I achieved with Toll Brothers was a direct result of Allen’s efforts, and I am confident this perennial all-star will perform with distinction in any organization lucky to have him.
