RE: Mr. Ramirez, Assoc. AIA

To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to bring awareness to Mr. Ramirez who has exemplified exceptional understanding

of Architectural project management. Our firms recently collaborated together on the Mystique

& Running Creek Casino projects, which he was the Project Architect.

As an outside design consultant, we have had the privilege to collaborate with many outstanding

project architects. Having worked directly with Mr. Ramirez, I consider his leadership

outstanding, and therefore deserving to be part of this select group of exceptional Architectural

leaders.

Closely working with Mr. Ramirez on the Mystique & Running Creek projects, allowed our firm

to fully appreciate his team organization, clear communication and his attention to the many

project details. We appreciate his “Fully Engaged Team” approach, encouraging open

communication and the sharing of fresh ideas with ALL team members.

Undoubtedly Mr. Ramirez’s clients, their guests, employees and ownership of both properties

have benefited greatly because of his strong leadership, creativity and direction.

Those of us on the RDS team, who have worked with Raul, have been privileged to work with a

professional who embraces and leads an “All In” team culture.

Best regards,

Frederick A Lillian
