Zachary J. Little
I am grateful for Jacob's continued leadership and expertise regarding our parallel project management roles throughout the past 3+ years. You have always been willing to lend a helping hand whenever I required assistance. Beyond that, Jacob maintains a great sense of humor and levity which is important to not take ourselves too seriously. Blazing the trail from our group, you are the first to obtain the prestigious and necessary PMP certification in the ever-changing IT services economy, solidifying your skillset for potential future employers. The certification is the capstone of your dedicated focus in the field and exhibits your drive to provide outstanding service to our clients. I am positive you have a bright future in project management. Transcending regular work through your positive attitude and willingness to help, you have continually shared your preparation experiences for the PMP as I prepare for my exam. You have pointed me toward valuable study methods to better enable me to pass my exam. Sharing expertise is a valuable trait in a leader- one you exhibit consistently as a teammate. Future employers will appreciate Jacob's servant leadership, initiative, and self-starter attitude. Jacob is accepting of change and sees challenge as exciting opportunities to be conquered.

He is an incredible teammate, who has demonstrated an insatiable desire to serve his customers and stakeholders across all corners of the business. Jacob is professional, driven, and collaborative as a project manager. He is eager to learn new things and intently listen to those providing feedback. Jacob is a project manager that would improve any team and bring about real results. He continually volunteers to do tasks that nobody else will step up to do, and he is always customer-focused. I would recommend Jacob as a project manager without any hesitation!
