Testimonial
This letter is being written to give my full endorsement of Thomas Nordstrom. He has worked on several projects for me in the past two years. He was responsible for the creation of our web-site for the Long Beach Jam of the American Basketball Association. He created the entire web-site in a very short period of time. He thought of many aspects that we never would have introduced into our site without his creativity. His work was both professional and timely. He produced a very complicated site in a few short weeks that would have taken months elsewhere. His attention to detail was remarkable. I could not recommend Thomas more highly.
