To Whom It May Concern: March 22nd, 2010

Ken Stout worked for Vortran Laser as Director of Sales and Marketing from July 2009 until the end of March 2010. During that time he put forth high energy and enthusiasm for the job. He spent many extra hours learning as much as he could about the technical side of lasers so that he would be in a better position to sell these lasers to a highly educated customer base. Ken set up a new data base for managing sales accounts and he spearheaded the effort to get more internet-based advertising for our company.

Ken impressed me with his efforts and his dedication to the job. Unfortunately, Vortran has had to undergo a major cost cutting program in the past few weeks. These cost cutting measures claimed several key positions and most salaried personnel lost substantial income. One of the hardest decisions that I have had to make since starting this company a couple years ago was to eliminate Ken’s position. Unfortunately, the company needed to redirect their limited resources to go after technical partnerships and to abandon the catalog sales portion of the business. Once the economic conditions improve for the photonics industry Vortran will be looking for professionals, such as Ken Stout, to join the company. I truly believe that any company that is looking for a high-energy professional to generate new sales would do well to hire Ken as soon as possible.
