Charles Goodsill has asked me to prepare a letter of recommendation for him in his employment search. I have know Charles since the early nineties in my capacity as the CFO of Burrows Paper where he was employed in the technical department, and also as a start-up consultant in the initial phase of his ballast water treatment concept that became Ecochlor, Inc.

I have always enjoyed working with Charles. His enthusiasm and energy are a contagious characteristic that would make him an excellent team leader, especially in a new project or concept development stage. His written and oral skills will be immediately apparent to anyone who interviews him; he is a very persuasive person. Charles is very creative individual, yet his ideas are grounded in practical and often lucrative areas. His concept of chlorine based ballast water treatment was original and he did much to drive it its initial development and seed capital. The practicality and uniqueness of this approach has supported several additional rounds of financing.

If you would wish further dialogue about Charles, feel free to call me at 315-868-0888.
