Matt Baker: Manager, Olympic Operations
  Carlson Marketing USA
 
“One of the most impressive things was your ability to multi-task during some of the most heated days prior to program operation and continuing throughout the Games. You told me that when you commit to something it is 110% and that you don’t rest until you are satisfied, and more importantly, the client is satisfied. Well you certainly delivered on that promise!”
 
John Barrington: President
  Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club
