Paul Attar

Travis worked for BRIDGE PTS for several years as a Research and Animal Technician. He has been a tremendously valuable employee: hard working and dedicated to his job, extremely reliable and competent. In addition to his technical skills, Travis has an easygoing and friendly demeanor that helped him to rapidly integrate into our group and also helps to diffuse any interpersonal tensions that can sometimes arise between others working in a small and intense team environment. Travis is planning to leave BRIDGE PTS so that he can relocate his family to a place closer to his relatives. He will be greatly missed by BRIDGE PTS, including both its staff and the company's management! I give him my highest possible recommendation.
