“Tenacious, committed, professional…Bernie embodies all of these traits and more. I first met Bernie though HR Tampa, where he became a valuable asset to our workforce readiness team as a tireless volunteer and champion for veterans. Bernie was the driving force behind our Veteran’s Initiative, a program designed assist transitioning veterans with resume design, interview protocols, skills translation and mock interviews…to name a few. Through his direction this initiative is one of the most successful and impactful in the Tampa Bay area. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with someone who embodies what it means to be a volunteer, and hope I get the chance to work with him again. ”
