Bio
Edward Cleveland
The Masters classes are a proving ground. To pursue a degree at UoP, a person must be able to work in teams to succeed. Each class was team oriented and with that, either we are given teammates or are allowed to choose them. After the first class with Brian, I placed him on the list of solid team members that I chose each time and was never disappointed. Brian does not procrastinate, had always performed above his peers and just having him on my team made me a better student. As with all good teams, the success of one member is indicative of the value of all the members. I chose Brian because I value my success. With Brian, I was fully confident to lead or follow with equal success. I expect great things in Brian's future as his team strengths formed my success.

Brian was one of Melitta's most outstanding Service Technicians. He has excellent technical skills and is very efficient. He was very well liked by our customers because he was in tune with their needs. Brian would be an asset to any organization!
