I worked with Stephen Springer as a Disabled Veterans Outreach Specialist (DVOP) in the veterans employment services group at the Orange County One-Stop Irvine. Stephen brought a depth of knowledge, professionalism and resourcefulness to our noble task of servicing veterans. Mr. Springer demonstrated the ethic embodied in our beloved Marine Corps motto:

Rick J. Rocha

"Stephen Springer's position as the Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program Specialist for The State of California, requires a diverse set of skills that has to be mastered to be successful. This position calls for him to maintain the knowledge of meticulous DOLVET mandates and guidelines, provide expert guidance of the VA Chapter 31 process to his clients, maintain approximately 35 Veterans on his caseload on a monthly basis and create detailed reports of progress of these clients, all completed under strict timelines. Not only has Stephen completed the above tasks with realtive ease, he has exceeded expectations in every aspect. Completing the missions at hand and taking on more responsibilities, such as marketing the Veteran program, facilitating job building seminars such as the Toastmasters of America, volunteering emergency preparedness management services for the Red Cross OC Chapter, board member of the office event planning team and assisting other teamates to succeed as well. In addition to the aforementioned, Stephen has such a wonderful approach and demeanor with all levels of Veteran clients, stamping the program with the quality customer service all deserve. Having worked side by side, on a daily basis with Stephen, I feel extremely comfortable with endorsing him as the very top echelon of this industry and an asset to any applicable program or company".
