Attn: Mr. Eric Lizee
Dear Sir,
I am pleased to recommend Mr. Trevor Hauenstein for the position of Exhibit Designer at the McWane Center.
Mr. Hauenstein is an outstanding young person of keen intellect and impeccable character.
As a student in my AP Physics C class at Jefferson County International Baccalaureate School, Mr. Hauenstein
showed a refreshing adherence to academic excellence and embraced intellectual challenges. He was highly
motivated and always took pride in his work. The excellence of his academic output demonstrated the aptitude
and ability requisite for success at the highest levels. His formidable reasoning/analytical skills, creative spirit, and
robust work ethic distinguish him as a truly exceptional scholar.
Mr. Hauenstein was liked and respected both by his teachers and his classmates. He was appreciated for his
exceptional ability to clearly articulate difficult, abstruse physics and mathematics concepts and processes, and
make them readily comprehensible to his peers. The depth and breadth of his knowledge base is impressive, as is
his deeply-intuitive understanding of physics and science concepts.
Mr. Hauenstein is amiable, enthusiastic, helpful and articulate. Given his passion for learning, his ability to explain
clearly and with patience, his charisma, and the quality of his character, your kind consideration of this gifted,
talented and exceptional young person is greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to contact if additional information is needed.
Sincerely,
Nicholas S. Gerontakis, MSc. Physics, MA
