To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Jon nce, in hopes to give greaterinsight to his dedication and commitment to his profession.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jon in two different operations over thepast six years. I first met Jon at Surf and Sand Resort, he was already an establishedSous Chef at the time, his reputation was built on hard work and passion for his

craft. My professional transition into my new role at Surf and Sand was made

effortless due to the fact Jon had already created a professional environment. I meta young man that was diligent, dedicated and had a committed culinary team.

Then an opportunity was offered, to be part of the remodel and reconstruction of aprivate business club in Orange County, The Pacific Club. The Pacific Club had areputation in Orange County of hosting some of the best events in the area, social,political and culinary, as welJ as an established a culinary reputation, that was onlyvisited by some of the most influential people of southern California.

I knew Jon was the perfect candidate for this project. Jon was hired as our Chef deCuisine; he was responsible for the hiring, training and the development of theculinary staff. Jon also assisted with the menu development, food cost, labor cost,monthly inventory control, and upholding our food quality standards. Anotherchallenging component of this position is the ability to be personally available to ourcustomers and members. Jon was always diplomatic and patient with the personalrequests and feedback.

Jon has a natural gift and will be missed here with us at The Pacific Club. However,I believe he put so much of himself into the success of this place, I know he will behere in spirit for many years. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require anyfurther details

Sincerely,

David B MaftinExecutive ChefThe Pacific Club4110 MacArthur Blvd.Newport Beach, CA
