Personal Recommendations

• I wanted to pass on feedback on Gordon I have
  observed as he has served as our Homeowners
  Association President for the last three years.
  Gordon's leadership is a significant reason that
  I decided to serve on the Homeowner's Board again
  this year. He is organized, efficient and very
  skilled at dealing with a wide range of opinions
  and personalities. He also comes up with creative
  and collaborative solutions with the best example
  of this skill displayed in addressing a safety
  concern at the entrance to our neighborhood.
  Gordon pulled together leaders from multiple
  Homeowner's associations along Hwy 14, County
  traffic personal, State patrol officers, City
  Traffic personnel, and the County commissioner
  and lead creation of an action plan that is being
  worked over the last year and going forward. I
  think the world of Gordon and he puts in a huge,
  effective effort as a volunteer leader in our
  neighborhood. I am confident he would apply this
  same creative and collaborative skills in his
  professional areas as well.

Personal Recommendations

• Gordon Nuttall is a great idea man! He has great
  ideas and knows how to follow them through. I
  know this and I dont even work with him! I am
  an elementary art teacher and Gordon has
  volunteered at my school, many times in the four
  years I have known him. Gordon is one of those
  special people you can count on to help you if
  you need help, to be responsible, reliable and
  imaginative.
• I have specifically worked with Gordon when he
  helped me create a photo lab in my art room.
  He set me up with cameras and trained me how to
  use them. He was available to help the first
  year of kids master the use of these cameras. He
  inspired me to make photo one of the highlight
  units in my students semester.
• Gordon is an asset to any business field he
  wants to work in. I have observed his tenacity
  to get things done and done right. I have
  noticed his quiet compassion for students and
  staff at this school. I have personally worked
  with Gordon and seen his great creativity and
  constant reliable and responsible character.
• Because of his willingness to help, his strong
  character, his work ethic and creative ideas, I
  would like to recommend Gordon for any position.
  He is smart, caring and responsible and would be
  an asset to any project.
