I have had the pleasure to know Willis for nearly thirty years as a colleague in the manufacturing field, a consultant, and as a neighbor and friend.

I submit my opinion of Mr. Scharmer’s professional character, skill, and knowledge to be the highest grade. I have witnessed his determination and counted on his ability to solve issues under duress. Mr. Scharmer is an honest individual who works well within a team. He is not overbearing or demanding of attention but rather supportive of other’s input and ideas.

I would not hesitate to engage Mr. Scharmer again in an employment concern, knowing he would be determined to better the situation for all concerned.

Please, feel free to contact me at any time regarding this recommendation.
