1. Letter of Recommendation
April 9, 2008
To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to personally recommend Rodman Browning for consideration of employment. As
company controller, I have known Rodman throughout his tenure at Padre Island Rentals. We
worked in close proximity and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable as he instructed and
assisted in many varied customizations, modifications and upgrades. His creativity, resourceful-
ness and ability to work flexible hours were a signature to bring these to fruition. In his role as IT
Director, he successfully developed several innovations which lead to an increase in revenue and
overall profitability for our company.
Rodman is self motivated drawing on his wealth of experience and learning and is uniquely quali-
fied and well suited for working independently. He is a proven multitasker, outlining and planning
projects while simultaneously completing the details for another. He was the daily go-to person
supporting all company hardware and software. His additional work assignments were many and
included redesigning and maintaining our websites, designing a company intranet, assisting in
authoring and layout of rental agreements and confirmation letters, brochures and maps. Com-
ments on the text and layout of our website and the feedback on all of these have been very posi-
tive.
I highly recommend him for any position of employment in your company in which he may spend
his passion and share his talents with others. He would make a great asset to any organization.
Sincerely,
Dennis Geiger
