To Whom It May Concern,

I have always been curious about what makes machines and

people tick. Machines were easy: I have always had the

ability to take things apart and re-assemble them (usually

with no parts left over) be it toys growing up, the many

cars I would own and later landing in the semiconductor

industry building, installing and troubleshooting multi-

million dollar equipment around the world.

People were a little harder to figure out, and while I may

not have that part completely understood, what helped me

the most is I always got pleasure out of helping someone.

Whether it was jump-starting a dead battery on their car or

networking half-way around the world to make a project more

successful for my company and my customer.

Dependability, team-player, honesty and a good dose of

other true conservative values have guided my life – in

public and privately as well.

I have spent my adult life being true to those values,

one time to the detriment of my employment. An actual life

and death situation surfaced and I acted – a silent partner

was embarrassed and politics caused us to go our separate

ways. I can explain in greater detail privately but I

wouldn’t hesitate to make the same call again.

I'm a technician at heart, whether as an aviation machinist

helping to design/contruct/install a pusher-propeller that

would eventually fly on an Apache attack helicopter or

restoring, from the ground up my 1972 Corvette Stingray.

Part of my ability to understand how a machine works, take

it apart with or without its manual and then put it back

together in factory working order has to be credited to my

father. I grew up looking over his shoulder as he added a

front porch to our house, converted the attic into an

apartment for my uncle and helped all my Italian relatives

who had no other place to take their ailing cars.

For the past 12 years I have sharpened my skills, getting

industry training and using core values to move into

management. My managing strategy is simple but effective:

there’s a job or task to delegate, choose the employee best

suited according to his skill-set, make sure his priorities

are straight and let him work; no one likes to be micro-

managed and I have other duties and responsibilities to

attend to.

I am in good shape (probably could outlast most

30-somethings in some sports), take care of myself and

do not party.

I have an excellent work-ethic, do not cause trouble and am

extremely dependable.

Give me a chance, you won’t be embarrassed!

Thank you

Mark L. Talley
