I have known Dean for eight years. He and I worked at MacKay & Company in the same department. Dean is a great asset to any company. He is very ambitious, has great analytical, writing and research skills. Dean was very successful as the Manager of Research at MacKay & Company and I would gladly work with Dean in the future if the opportunity presented itself.
