To whom it may concern,
Regarding Justin Zimmerman
Over the past year i have had the opportunity to get to know Justin, Jay as i refer to him. I as a lead with Seattle Marriott waterfront restaurant, hook and plow. Learning of Jays past struggles and how he has overcome them with hard
work, honesty, and integrity. While developing a friendship with Jay I learned of his desire to continue his education and pursue a masters in a field that would help him connect with his love of nature. I was always delighted when Jay would share his current
studies, it was his passion for bettering himself, as well i would learn things i did not know. The sharing of knowledge is a gift. I have the benefit of being partnered with a wonderful surgeon, she is the smartest person i know, her dedication to her research
reminds me of Jays dedication to the environment. I truly believe that people who have struggled with their pasts, have succeeded in bettering themselves, and have a desire to better the world have a deeper commitment to achieving their goals. This is true
of my partner, i believe this will be true of Jay. I look forward to seeing Jays continued growth as he moves along his journey, to the knowledge he will share with me and others. I believe Jays commitment to better himself, others, and the planet is true
and unwavering. I respectfully and highly recommend him To receive the Bilezikian sustainability fellowship to assist him in achieving his goals.
