He was two levels above me organizationally. We’ve known each other 13-plus years
I enthusiastically and without reservation recommend Eric “Scott” Christopher for the position he is seeking with
your organization. Scott has worked for the City of Peachtree City for more than 12 years as the senior manager in the
recreation maintenance department, under my guidance and supervision. His duties were among the most challenging
in the 60-person department. He managed a 16-member maintenance crew who cared for 430 acres of parkland,
including 52 sports fields. The same crew maintained 40 facilities of varying complexity ranging from restrooms to
aquatic centers, a library and a covered multipurpose rink. The range of maintenance issues was endless, changed
daily and generally involved high-pressure deadlines. His was a nearly impossible job, but Scott successfully
managed these issues with a calm demeanor, being respectful of his subordinates, fellow co-workers and other city
staff. I have never once seen Scott face a situation he couldn’t resolve in a professional manner without losing his
bearing.
I served 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked with men and women who possessed the highest degree on
integrity possible in humans. I can honestly say that none of them exceeded Scott’s honesty and integrity. His
excellent job performance, sense of high morals and basic decency makes him a valued and respected member of this
staff. Scott will be an important addition to your organization.

Dennis was a vendor with TruGreen ChemLawn. We’ve known each other for over 13 years.
Scott Christopher and I have worked together for about thirteen years and it has been a pleasure to work with him. I
am the commercial account manager with TruGreen Lawn Care Co and Scott was over the Parks at Peachtree City.
There have been many times Scott played the intermediary in working with my company and other companies in
problem solving different issues that came up with the Parks. He has had to work with companies like mine and also
the associations within Peachtree City to coordinate scheduling & problems that come up.
I am proud to have worked with Scott over the years and I know he is respected by his piers and companies he has
worked with. Of all of the ten Parks & Recreation accounts that I work with I feel that Scott is the most
knowledgeable and loyal in making sure that he has his employer’s best interest at heart.

Sherry was my immediate supervisor. We’ve known each other for over 13 years.
As the Recreation Administrator for the city of Peachtree City. Georgia’s Parks and Recreation Department, I had the
opportunity to work with Scott Christopher for over twelve and one-half years. Scott’s position was Facilities
Manager where he supervised up to thirteen full-time maintenance employees and one full-time Parks Monitor. Scott
was the type of individual who cared about his employees and always looked after their interests. He worked well
with his crew as well as with other employees from the various city departments. Many times, coordination of
manpower or equipment was needed in order to complete work or projects at the various city recreation facilities.
Scott was always involved with the coordination of such work or projects.
Scott was responsible for maintaining over 430 acres of park space. The department had 52 sports fields ranging from
soccer fields to softball fields to lacrosse fields. There were 40 structures that needed to be maintained. These 40
structures ranged from restrooms to gazebos to restroom/concession buildings. The department had 31 different parks
that included tot lots and 6 lighted soccer field/10 lighted baseball field complex. The city also had an outdoor track,
12 tennis courts and 5 swimming pools. All of these amenities were under Scott’s responsibility along with the
maintenance of two recreation centers, an administrative office and the city’s library. On occasion he was involved
with maintenance issues at the city’s tennis center and the outdoor amphitheater. Scott ordered supplies needed to
maintain these facilities as well as coordinated the work to be performed to maintain these facilities.
The department worked with 10 volunteer youth athletic associations. The city also had a Dog Park Association, a
Disc Golf Association and a Cycling Association. Scott worked closely with the various associations to insure the
facilities they utilized were safe and clean.
Peachtree City is known for the special events held within the city. Whether it was an adult triathlon, a large soccer
tournament or the March of Dimes walk, Scott was responsible for ensuring the needed supplies or items (such as
bleachers or metal barricades) were in place for the event organizer’s usage during their event. He participated in the
pre and post event meetings with the event organizer and representatives from various city departments.
With his type position, he had to be a multi-task individual. Scott was certainly able to meet deadlines and plan ahead
by ordering needed supplies for upcoming projects. He was a very talented employee who was dedicated to his job.
He always gave 110%. Scott would arrive at work early and not leave until whatever work was completed. He was a
very valuable asset to the department. It was a pleasure working with him those years.

I am writing this recommendation for Scott Christopher. I had the privilege to work with Scott for close to 15 years

an outstanding job at multitasking, which was asked of him on a daily basis. Many of the wonderful recreation
facilities in Peachtree City are due to the hard work he put into his job.

Scott is a great person; he is full of ideas and positive energy. Scott is a great listener and provides excellent insight
into thinking through problems or situations clearly. Scott is always willing to lend a hand to help out on projects and
tasks and never afraid to get his hands dirty in the process. I have seen Scott diversify in different tasks whether it be
in the field or behind a desk or in a persons life to try and make the best positive impact. Scott cares for people who
surround him and makes every attempt to make things better for everyone, not just himself. Scott could definitely be
an asset to a company!
