It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Charles Driver. Charles and I worked together at Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation for over 6 years. I thoroughly valued my time working with Charles, and came to know him as a truly valuable asset to absolutely any team. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Many times I turned to Charles for assistance, asking him to put a second set of eyes on an issue or a situation needing a solution. His out-of-box thinking proved beneficial again and again. Charles’ knowledge of coding, hardware, application management, and systems administration allowed him to work effectively in our demanding department. Although his primary focus was Web Development and IT Coordinator (the tech side of support), his actual duties had him wearing many more hats. Most important are Charles’ soft skills. He has an excellent demeanor and incredible customer facing bedside manner. He was a great c0-worker and we as a department miss his presence. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Charles. As a dedicated and knowledgeable employee and an all-around great person, I know that he will be a beneficial addition to your organization. Jesse Nelkie, Supervisor\Senior Network Analyst, YAMAHA
