    Dear Mike,
    I am very pleased you asked me to write a few comments on the business dealings I have had with you over the past twenty plus years. My comments are as follows:
     
    I have had the true pleasure of meeting Mike Tolley over twenty years ago, when he was working for Showtenders in Orlando Florida. Mike was and continues to be a true professional in every sense of the word, knowledgeable in all aspects of drink development, flair, bar design, proper training guidelines and interpersonal skills. I have done many projects with Mike over the years and always had the utmost confidence in his ability and willingness to help. Thru Mike’s efforts, I achieved success with most clients when he was involved with the project. He listens to what the customer’s concerns/issues are and provides an easy to execute solution. I would highly endorse Mike and Beverage by Design for any beverage related project you may have.
     
    Sincerely,

    Michael is one of the most forward thinkers in his business with a tremendous insight. I believe most of his success comes from the fact that he has been in the trenches for so many years and he has a first hand knowledge of what works and what doesn't with a no nonsense approach. You will never be disappointed with his performance, I guarantee it.
