"I have worked with Tyrone Starkie as an Achievement Coach at Wayne Community College in addition to
having him as an advisor for the Minority Male Mentoring Group for which I am the director. Tyrone is very
instrumental with feedback and information about various subjects. He is a tireless worker and compassionate
person. His vision for job accomplishment as well as task orientation is impeccable. To have Tyrone as a
team member to any degree is an invaluable advantage to say the least. Tyrone is... Well educated yet down

a superior communicator... in short Tyrone is a class act and a prize to have as an ally. Words will never
qualifiedly provide the a sustainable understanding to what this man brings to the table."
