    Tucker carries many years of actual oil and chemical spill response both as a contractor supervisor and as an independant consultant to the marine, oil & gas industry. Tucker has also demonstrated his abilities to convey what he has learned within a structured training environment which greatly benefits the students.

    I would recommend Tucker for any training mission whether classroom or field level instruction.

    I have worked along with Mr. Mendoza many times during the last 20 years, both as a co-worker and as a client.

    I find him to be competent in his approach to the environmental business, and in particular emergency response to both hazardous materials and water or land based oil spills.

    To whom it may concern,

    I have worked along with Mr. Mendoza many times during the last 20 years, both as a co-worker and as a client.

    I find him to be competent in his approach to the environmental business, and in particular emergency response to both hazardous materials and water or land based oil spills.

    He most notably stood out in a very high profile underwater recovery of submerged drums for the E.P.A. on the Mississippi River about 15 years ago that he was recognized by both the agency and the client for establishing a very well organized decontamination area that supported commercial diving operations as well as surface support environmental cleanup personnel coordinating the overall project.

    He has a vast operational and technical knowledge of all processes, strategies and equipment pertaining to emergency response.

    He has over the years continued to upgrade his personal skill sets through practical application as well as class room instruction and courses.

    I would welcome him on any project that I am involved with and wish him the best.
    If you have further questions please fill free to contact me at 504-256-2240 central standard time
    Sincerely,

    To whom it may concern.

    I have known Mr. Tucker Mendoza since 1990 whenI met him through his employer at the time, Mr.Rusty Johnsohn founder of ICI on a large decon project in Port Arthur, Texas cleaning the HOSS Barge during the Mega Borg incident. Tucker, though very young at the time, had the maturity level and leadership skills necessary to bring this project in safely and on time for ICI and all the agencies involved.

    I have known Mr. Tucker Mendoza since 1990 whenI met him through his employer at the time, Mr.Rusty Johnsohn founder of ICI on a large decon project in Port Arthur, Texas cleaning the HOSS Barge during the Mega Borg incident. Tucker, though very young at the time, had the maturity level and leadership skills necessary to bring this project in safely and on time for ICI and all the agencies involved. Tucker and I reconnected again recently and we both realized we still have similar interests in staying in this industry post BP and trying to develop new ideas and new relationships that can benefitboth parties. We are both qualified in the ICS system and available for network positions with companies such as Obrien's and Meredith Ship Management for larger incidents. I think Tucker would bring a lot of experience, leadership and ambition to help move a company forward to meet their goals. He also possesses great communication skills and is used to hard work. I value his friendship and have learned quite a lot from him in the spill business. I think Tucker would be an asset to any organization that gives him the opportunity to grow and gives him the right support. Please feel free to call me directly

    Tucker was already a veteran in the Oil Spill & Haz Mat Clean up industry when I started my career in 1992. Tucker through his knowledge and long standing in the industry taught me the basics of the different facets of oil spill clean up from setting containment boom, correctly placing various skimming devices and operating them to there fullest capacities, boat operation and safety, setting anchors and how to utilize sorbents from the start to finish of many projects we worked on together.

    At all times I have found Tucker Mendoza to be dependable, reliable, hard-working, conscientious, honest, as well as a mentor to our profession. Mr. Mendoza’s passion for the industry is well entrenched in how he approaches his dedication to his craft. Everyone in the industry knows and trusts Tucker for all that he has brought to the industry. Tucker always demonstrates a “can do” attitude but approaches ever situation with getting the job done in a safe manner. Tucker has shaped my knowledge of the industry which has carried me to the position I hold today by learning from his knowledge in the field.

    Tucker Mendoza would truly be an asset to any organization in terms of preparing anyone interested in learning to work in the industry to be trained and taught by one of the best in the industry.

    I’m happy to provide further information if required.

    Tucker: Thank you very much for your kind words and support. I deeply appreciate your taking the time to express your support and passion for the environment. I did find the oil absorption material you left and have turned it over to the Coast Guard and the oil absorption companies. Unfortunately, we do not have much choice in the decision making process concerning the clean-up. Thanks again for your interest and concern.
