Bio
Bubba Bethea
Travis was a great addition to my leadership team with experience and education allowing better financial decisions. Travis excelled in giving my operations leaders the KPI’s and financial information in a timely manner. Travis would make a great addition and be a valuable asset to an organization.
Wes Conner
To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Travis Richardson in recognition of his Leadership & Financial Acumen. Over the last decade, I have had the privilege to know Travis first as his employee and later as his peer. Travis distinguished himself as a Doctor of Management by receiving his Doctorate in 2019, and holds additional educational degrees as well, all of which is a tribute to his pervasive drive for educational improvement. Travis’s knowledge of the intricacies of accounting allowed me to rapidly acclimate to a new role, and through his tutelage, I was taught the value of accuracy in finance. Initially, I thought his systems of tracking and accountability would be burdensome to the overall work being done, but through his practical demonstrations, I have come to appreciate those traits as Leadership Qualities. I know personally that Travis operates with a degree of diligence and fidelity that is no longer commonplace, should anyone be considering him for a position, I strongly recommend consideration of Dr. Travis Richardson. Sincerely, Westley L. Conner
