I truly enjoyed working with Dennis. As an Admissions Coordinator I often needed Dennis to approve transfer credits for my students or to verify policies. When other people put this in their "pile" Dennis got to it without haste. He understood that this task required immediate attention; students often made their educational decisions based on which courses would be accepted.

Moreover, his disposition is like any other persons that I have encountered. He is professional and decisive, yet personable. I would recommend him for any position that he aspires to.
