To whom it may Concern

For the two years as project designer of the Radisson Ft. McDowell Resort Hotel's design and construction process, I have worked closely with Tristar Hotel Management Company. Mr. Rick Tomljenovic and Mr. Ken Edwards are the gentlemen whom Idealt with most frequently. Their attentions to detail, knowledge of the industry and hotel operations were extremely beneficial to the client, contractor and design professionals.

Tristar lent their expertise to Carlson Hotel Worldwide in helping to establish the new Radisson Ft. McDowell Resort. They also helped the Ft. McDowell Yavapai Nation with the pre-opening of the Eagle View RV Resort.

When working with the design team, Tristar team understood the importance of adapting to the Native American culture and helping to realize the project's common goals. The balance among cultural, functional and aesthetic issues was achieved with optimum results.

Without reservation, I highly recommend the Tristar Hotel Management Company for your services. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information.

Sincerely,

Viet T. Dam
