Wyatt Richardson is the ultimate professional and I enjoyed the honor of working with him. Wyatt has a vast knowledge of parks, recreation, natural resources, budgets, planning, projects, sports, tourism, economic impact and managing staff. His ambition, education and experience provided him with many opportunities to both apply and acquire new skills and methods. I personally witnessed Wyatt's excellent ability to communicate both internally and externally with staff and customers over the years. His thorough and efficient approach to his work easily set him apart from others. During his time here, he became an invaluable asset to our organization and his presence is sorely missed.
