Captain Pete Martino, US Marine Reserves
It is my honor to write a recommendation for Dr. John OConnor. When we met when we worked together in the prison, I was immediately impressed by his skills. His reputation as a skilled counselor spread quickly when he became the overnight counselor. He handled some of the hardest cases in the prison and they would request him by name. He became known for calming down some of the prisoners that were completely out of control. They would even bypass the daytime counselors and call John in on his off days to speak with prisoners. No counselor was able to accomplish what I witnessed John being able to accomplish with the prisoners, and no counselor has achieved the same results since his departure.
Dr. OConnor has also helped me with my professional life. The skills I learned from him in managing stress and my career I will use throughout my lifetime. He is extremely skilled, and no matter what pursuit I have invested myself in, John has been an invaluable and indispensable resource to me in helping me achieve whatever dream or goal I have wanted to pursue, whether it is a physical pursuit in athletics, or my career in the armed forces.
Most of all, I would have to say that there are not many people I would say that I completely entrust my life to. John is one person where I can say this wholeheartedly. John and I fought back to back during a riot and a lock down for a ten hour period, with as many as fifty prisoners coming at us at once trying to kill us so they could earn the status of king of the prison. They could not pull us out in time, and we were the only two guards locked down with an entire unit. We took our position in the middle of the rotary and literally fought back to back for the entire time. If I was with any other officer, I do not think I would still be here to be able to tell you about this. I am indebted to John for being there with me that day.
I believe it is so easy for John is so great at what he does because he does not just teach how to live better and succeed - he lives it. In the Marines, they teach us how to be strong in so many ways. However, in working with John, he has deepened my understanding of ways a person can exhibit strength and courage. John easily taught me ways I could improve whatever pursuit I engaged in in ways I did not even think of or imagine. There are many that claim to be able to do this type of work, but as you know, there are very few people who are have a true gift for what they do. I believe that John is one of the very few people, the one percent at the top, who is truly gifted at helping people achieve any goal they desire.
It is for these reasons that I recommend John for any sort of work he pursues. You should consider yourself very lucky to have the opportunity to work with John.
Sincerely,

Dr. Tiffany C. Rush-Wilson, Skill Development Coordinator/ MSMHC Walden University 155 Fifth Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55401 USA March 7, 2011 To Whom it May Concern, Please consider this professional recommendation for Dr. John OConnor. Dr. OConnor was a student under my advisement during his graduate studies at Walden University. I worked with him during both his graduate and post-graduate studies. As a result I have been able to evaluate his clinical skill development and research work ethic. He demonstrated an above-average skill set with clinical competencies, and was well liked in his interviewing course. His doctoral dissertation, entitled Emotional Trauma in Athletic Injury and the Relationship Among Coping Skills, Injury Severity, and Post Traumatic Stress was well-written, and professional. I was able to experience how Dr OConnor managed the stressful happenings that often occur for an author writing professional research, especially when writing the dissertation. Dr. OConnor experienced several academic and personal events in his life that were quite stressful. He confronted, and managed, these with impressive grace. He demonstrated great determination, flexibility and patience during his academic experience. For these reasons it is without reservation that I recommend him for future employment opportunities. I have great respect for his ability to self-advocate and learned a lot from my interactions with him. He will be an asset to the workplace. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns at tiffany.rush-wilson@waldenu.edu. Thank you, Tiffany C. Rush-Wilson, Ph.D., LPCC, NCC, CCC, LP March 19, 2011
