I have enjoyed working with DJ and his approach to work is deliberate and intentional. He has remained in contact with me as our careers have taken different directions both figuratively and geographically. I would not hesitate to hire him again and know that he will be an asset to any organization or team that he joins. DJ is a person of strong moral character, is equally thoughtful to our members, and I believe to be exceptional in his work.
