Quotes
“Jeff’s performance during his all too short tenure in Cincinnati was excellent, well beyond any expectations of a most demanding project and client.
Jeff’s competence and spirit insured the success of our presentation to Chevrolet-Pontiac-Canada Group’s Chief Executive. A presentation that was so successful, I might add, that we have been requested to reprise it several times for various groups within General Motors.”
“Jeff has all the make-up of an “Architect’s Architect,” from design to client rapport. Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay Jeff is that is any way I can “steal” him for our Cincinnati office, I’ll do it.”
John E. Albers
General Motors Project Director, SDI
