To Whom It May Concern:
My name is David Rust. I have forty-four years of business experience, including eighteen years
as chief human resources officer for large corporations ($2+ billion in annual revenue). I retired
six years ago to found my own consulting firm. I am telling you this to set the stage for the
following recommendation.
As the Treasurer of the Alumni Association for Sigma Pi, Beta Chapter, I have had the
opportunity to work with, and to observe the leadership provided, by Zach Rush. During his
time as President of this fraternity chapter (approximately 80 young men) Zach faced many
challenges. He never backed away from, or procrastinated in, solving these challenges and while
doing so he maintained the respect of those whom he led. If there was a job to be done Zach got
it done. No prodding was needed. He saw the issues on his own and went about resolving those
issues, leading his executive council to proactively do what needed to be done to manage a
$750,000 per year in revenue business in a very successful way. Obviously, based on this I
highly recommend Zach for any intern position which you might have available. Suffice it to
say, if I were still in my role of VP, HR I would be recruiting Zach to become a part of my
company.
One last comment, Zach is such an effective leader and thinker that he was invited to become an
adviser to the Alumni Association Board. This was the first time ever that an undergraduate was
asked to join the Board. This speaks to the value Zach adds with his intelligence and ability to
team with others to implement important initiatives.
I highly recommend Zach for any position you have available that would be a fit for your
company and Zach.
Regards,
David H. Rust
