Bio
Dean Jenks
I had the pleasure of meeting CJ just a few short months ago and it already feels like I have known him for a very long time. From the minute I met CJ, he was extremely cordial and accommodating. He showed great passion, energy and enthusiasm each time we met and he was an extremely productive individual. I was able to see CJ take on a secondary project for his company, aside from his regular position, and he approached every aspect with great enthusiasm and a plan of action to get things done. CJ exemplifies great leadership qualities and he works tirelessly to make those around him productive and efficient. He is organized and efficient, and its no wonder he is leaned upon to take on additional responsibilities within his organization. All this and always with a great attitude! If would highly recommend CJ and look forward to working with him more in the future.

In the last 3 years, CJ has been instrumental in my development. In looking back, I am astonished at the improvement that I've made professionally with CJ's guidance and support. CJ is the type of manager that seeks to grow his staff and help them become the best professionals they can be.
