Chip was a valuable member of the veterans team at CAEL. I found him to be highly professional, amiable, thoughtful, and truly committed to addressing the needs of student veterans. Chip made several meaningful contributions during his tenure at CAEL, including developing and delivering workshops to career staff and veterans on veterans employment and career development, assisting with the formation and facilitation of a career pathway working group in the behavioral health field, and conducting research on various topics related to student veterans. I appreciated his steadiness, his ability to connect with veterans, and his willingness to go the extra mile. I have no doubt that he will be successful in his future endeavors.

I had the pleasure of working as a fellow member of Chip's team at CAEL, where he consistently demonstrated his diligence and commitment to easing the transition of veterans and service members from military to civilian life. Chip drew from his own military experience to enhance the team's understanding of this population's unique needs and strengths while also leveraging his network to create new opportunities for IL National Guard members to receive informational briefings from CAEL that helped them to navigate the higher education landscape. His higher education background also allowed him to relate to college faculty, staff and administrators who were key partners in various initiatives. In his interactions with both colleagues and external partners, Chip was always diplomatic, highly professional, and adept putting others at ease. His organizational skills, sense of humor, and strong work ethic were an asset to our team, and I recommend him highly.
