John Petersen
Rarely do Interns come with as much drive as Slava. During his time as an Intern, I was impressed by his ability to machine his own designs. I’m confident that Slava will have a bright career on his path to becoming a mechanical engineer. He’ll be an asset to any employer, and I look forward to the day he lets me work under him. Well done and thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach you some machining.
