Recommendations and Praise

"As the Zoning Administrator for Jefferson County, ... it has been my good fortune to work with Mr. Cerrillo on several different issues.  I have found Larry to be the consummate professional, with an outstanding ability to lead persons from two different sides of an issue, to find common ground, and to come to a mutually agreeable outcome...  I know that I will request his assistance the next opportunity that I have to take a case to mediation."
Michael J. Chadwick, AICP  Zoning Administrator, Jefferson County

"I am pleased to provide a statement of support regarding a professional colleague, Larry Cerrillo...  a colleague whom I have known and worked with for close to a decade...   He has been a Certified Professional Geologist for more than 25 years and served in a number of other official positions both in the AIPG Colorado State section and on behalf of the national AIPG organization.

I can honestly say that he has demonstrated integrity, ethical comportment, and professionalism in all positions...  I am confident, based on the manner in which he presided over meetings and dealt with colleagues and staff, that he is well qualified to resolve conflict and serve as a facilitator.  Based on the occasions when I have listened to him speak in a public setting, often on short notice, I have observed him to be a more than competent communicator."
William J. Siok, Executive Director AIPG / American Institute of Professional Geologists
