March 31,2023 To Whom It May Concern: Chad Nestell was an employee at Joseph C. LaCroix Snowplow Dealer Inc. for three years. During this time, Chad was a dependable, reliable, and detail-oriented employee. Some of his key job duties during this time included: creating and managing the company website including all online sales, creating programs to assist the sales department run efficiently, handling mechanical questions from customers pertaining to designs of equipment and managing the scheduling of the repair department. While all of these were important tasks, I cannot speak highly enough on how well Chad worked in the team environment. He was always willing to assist where needed, offering creative ideas or suggestions to solve problems and was also able to work independently on assignments. With his go-getting attitude and strong communication skills he was a respected and positive addition to our business. I have no doubt that Chad would be a valuable addition to your company and fully recommend him for the position. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

To Whom It May Concern: It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to express my recommendation for Chad Nestell in his pursuit of a position within your company. This past semester I had the pleasure of Chad enrolling as a student of my Hydraulics and Pneumatics class within Delta College. While enrolled in this course, Chad was a model student who showed up earlier than asked, worked hard, and carried himself in a polite, respectable manner. In addition to his punctuality, Chad has made a difference with other students by making them feel comfortable with asking questions and maintaining a positive attitude. He has demonstrated true leadership qualities by being elected leader of group labs by his peers. Chad has also exceeded the necessary mechanical skills required by the course with his ability to build hydraulic labs, which included a regenerative circuit and sequence circuits. Upon completion of this course, Chad finished top of his class in Hydraulics and Pneumatics. As you further consider Chad for a position within your company, please let me know if I can provide any additional assistance or answer any further questions.

To Whom it May Concern: I am writing this letter on behalf of Chad Nestell, who was student in my ACC 211 Principles of Financial Accounting class at Delta College during the Fall 2023 semester. Chad was one of the select few students to receive a straight A grade in this challenging course. This section of accounting was taught completely online, and therefore I did not have the benefit of a face-to-face personal connection with Chad. However, online classes are often more difficult for students than the same course on campus. Students in face-to-face classes typically receive guided practice, frequent homework deadlines and professor-established structure. In an online class, due dates are roughly every two weeks, and students set their own intermediate goals and methods of learning. Chad’s high level of success in this course indicates that he possesses several important qualities: self-discipline, organization, initiative, time management, and the ability to work independently. Chad’s email communications with me were always clear, concise, and professional. He did ask questions regarding assigned homework, but always after he had appropriately tried to figure it out on his own first. In business, an important skill is knowing how to research solutions to problems, but also knowing when to seek guidance from someone with more experience or expertise. Chad found a good balance between independent problem-solving and seeking help for efficient use of time. I believe that Principles of Financial Accounting is one of the most important courses in the business curriculum. While the course does thoroughly cover the mechanics of the accounting process, it also emphasizes the use of accounting information to make decisions that will affect a company’s ability to survive, grow, and thrive. An A grade in this course suggests that Chad is well-prepared to apply a basic knowledge of accounting to daily operating decisions in a business setting. Based on my interactions with Chad and the well-deserved success he achieved in Principles of Financial Accounting, I am pleased to recommend him for a business position in your company. Best regards, Janis Kendziorski, CPA Associate Professor of Accounting Delta College University Center, MI 48702 989-513-6064

01/02/2025 To Whom it May Concern: My name is Scott Housey and I am an adjunct instructor at Delta College. I also hold a full-time position as a CNC Programmer/operator. The class, SKCA/CAD 120, uses Mastercam software to create geometry and apply toolpaths to geometry and output machine code to create parts on CNC machines. Last semester I had the opportunity of instructing Chad Nestell in my Intro to CAM course at Delta. He grasped the concepts and procedures well and interacted positively in class. His understanding of programing impressed me and he had later informed me that he had experience in manually inputting code into cnc machines to produce parts. He’s intelligent, adaptive, respectful, and also motivated to embrace new methods and concepts. I feel he will grow the skills he has learned in Mastercam and be an asset to the organization while onboarding the program as well as a solid investment in growing the company’s future capabilities. Sincerely, Scott Housey (989) 522-4394
