My name is Danny Harris and I am pleased to offer my recommendation of David Nimmo. During my relationship with David over the past 5 years, I have experienced a highly motivated, hard-working individual who consistently arrives on time, stays late and shows great dedication towards his professional duties. I strongly believe that David will be a great addition to any company and will exceed expectations in his role. David shows excellent communication skills and on a person level, he is charismatic and well -spoken, both qualities that have served him well and will continue to do so.
