Travis M. Ketring, a service manager at Bob Rohrman's Indy Honda, wrote a letter of recommendation for Joe Thiessen who worked with him for about six months while attending college. Ketring praised Thiessen for being self-motivated, taking his job seriously, helping wherever needed, viewing his job as something that needed to be done rather than just part of his job description, and having the ability to see the big picture. Ketring also said Thiessen is thoughtful, courteous toward others, and he is sure Thiessen will be successful in whatever he pursues.
