Leo Abrashevich, Director of Operations At Mile High Ambulance:
“Justin McMinn was and remains a valuable asset to Mile High Ambulance, LLC. He has helped the company grow immensely. Specifically, his multitude of creative design ideas and abilities has given MHA an edge in a very competitive market. Wherever Justin decides to continue his career, he will be very successful. It is rare to find an individual as driven and skilled in a plethora of fields. It is with great pride that I recommend Justin into whatever the future holds. “
Matt Gesualdi, Owner of Renaissance Man LLC:
“As recommendations go Justin is very easy to write for. He has never failed to impress me as a student, graduate, dedicated son and brother and all around good guy. He is the kind of hard worker that every business should have. Justin’s enthusiasm for problem-solving is inspiring and can be contagious in a group atmosphere.
If I were in the position to hire him I wouldn’t be writing this, I’d just employ him.”
Chris Chen Mahoney, Academic Department Director at The Art Institute of Colorado:
“Justin was probably one of the best students I have had during my eight years as an Industrial Design faculty at the Art Institute of Colorado. Justin was respectful, intelligent, and diligent in the best sense of the word. As a student employee, he was always reliable and efficient. As the president of the IDSA student chapter, he organized successful events and displayed his leadership skills. I believe that any organization would be lucky to have someone like Justin on their team. I’d recommend him without reservation.”
