Dear sir or madam:
Please accept this note as a letter of recommendation for Craig
Braddock.
I met Craig in 2012 when we were attempting to start up the racing
enterprise at Yavapai Downs in Prescott Valley, Az.
Craig, at considerable sacrifice, came to Arizona early, well in
advance of the scheduled start of the meet, to take on the challenge of
marketing the Yavapai Downs product and announcing the races.
The enterprise, for a variety of reasons, never got off the ground, yet
Craig distinguished himself with colleagues, horsemen and local politicians
as a creative and loyal young man with a passion for the sport and a zest
for a challenge.
My position there was general manager, which I mention only as a
commendation for Craig who, single handedly and with no prodding from
me, engaged the tax assessor and managed to have the property taxes
reduced from about $360,000 to $90,000.
It was as an incredible achievement.
If you are contemplating hiring Craig, I would encourage it; if you
have already made up your mind to hire Craig, I would congratulate you.
You will have added a fiercely determined and trustworthy member to
your team.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to use the contact information
above.
Mike
