Ms Lassalle,

This letter is in support of Mr. Brandon Barnett's application for a Community

Planning Intern with Orange County - City Planning Division. During Brandon's

tenure at Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area he has been a productive employee

and a positive asset to the area. He has been able to quickly master the varied tasks

assigned (technical and manual) and competently completes them with minimal

supervision. He always displays a very positive, get-it-done attitude and takes pride

in completing his assignments properly and punctually. Brandon is a very pleasant

person to work with and possesses very strong interpersonal communication and

public interaction skills. In conversations with Brandon about his educational and

career goals, he displays a passion for the Planning field and the associated GIS

technology and a strong interest in pursuing this path as a career.

Sincerely,

Tom Shupe

District Biologist
