While working with us at CopperTree Analytics, Kevin showed himself to be an extremely dedicated employee and applied himself diligently to his tasks. He was committed to finishing projects assigned to him in a timely manner. A self-starter, he is ambitious, and eagerly accepts new opportunities and challenges. During his time at CopperTree, he created a large amount of material directly used by clients, standardized our library of FDD algorithms, and participated in customer training sessions. Kevin has an exemplary work ethic, and was a valued and respected team member who got along well with his co-workers. I highly recommend Kevin… If you’re looking for an extremely intelligent and humble individual, who is
