Chris was my manager for over five years when I worked in Petroleum both in Health and Safety, I was very fortunate to work for Chris and credit him for training me as a safety professional. One of Chris' greatest assets is identifying his team's strengths and weaknesses and developing a plan through assignments to use their strengths and develop individuals's skills where they can improve. He demonstrated great support and encouragement as I pursued a project in the Permian Basin which earned both of us the highest award given by BHP for demonstrating a 98% decrease in the risk of hydrocarbon inhalation. I will be forever grateful for his mentoring and coaching in my career.

To Whom It May Concern: I have had the pleasure of working with Chris Parks for the last five years. He recently has been entrusted with a great deal of responsibility by taking on the role of Manager, Health and Hygiene. I have had the opportunity to observe Chris’s professional skills as well as interpersonal style. He is consistently pleasant, and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. I wish that all co-workers had his attitude. He is very trusting and supporting of his coworkers as well as his team members. Regardless of deadlines or other pressure Chris always delivers. His superior organizational skills make him the consummate multi-tasker. Sincerely, Scott A. Watson
