Casen Savage

It is my privilege to serve as a personal and professional reference for Casen Savage. I have had the pleasure of knowing Casen for about ten years but these past four we have built a close relationship. I have seen him in many different situations both professionally and personally, which has given me a lot of insight into his character. I have spent 20 years with City government in Rio Rancho, 17 years as a Manager/Supervisor; along with 37 years in APS and RRPS public schools as a High School Coach. I believe Casen has shown to be a highly respected young man. Casen is a very personable, confident, polite, hardworking, and very honorable young man. I first got to know Casen while he was starting middle school. Through that time, I immediately saw a young man who had great potential. His athleticism and instincts on the baseball field were exceptional. Once entering high school at Rio Rancho High, I was able to be more involved with Casen on a personal level. Over these past four years I witnessed his abilities not only as an athlete but as a person. Casen immediately excelled above his age. His first year on the baseball team as a freshman he immediately excelled to be moved up to a higher level of play on the Junior varsity and Varsity teams. This is when I realized he was a special young man, not only could he play above his age, but he also was a great student in the classroom. Throughout the next years while continuing to excel has a student Casen not only played for us at the high school level but was also playing club baseball. This comes with a lot of traveling. Casen continues to hold a 3.0 GPA with all the traveling for both his high school team and club team. Casen competitiveness, hard work, and his mental approach to the game of baseball allowed him to excel to be on the roster with the JV and Varsity teams his freshman year. Since his sophomore year to present he has started in center field and batted leadoff for the Varsity. Casen has also been very successful for us as a pitcher. To be honest Casen could play and excel anywhere we put him on the field. “He is that good of a baseball player”. Off the field Casen has been involved with community service programs and youth camps. He has helped (youth baseball camps, the USA baseball academy for 4 years. Casen demonstrates his ability to prioritize and organize his time. It shows his dedication to his education, his school, athletics, the community, and helping the youth. His conscientiousness, diligence and hard work has paid off in his grades; he carries a weighted 3.0 GPA. When Casen is involved with whatever he is doing he has the mind set to go full speed and give 100% at all costs whether it is for assistance or just for moral support. He is not one to sit back and let someone else take on all the work. His leadership skills are impeccable; he has the special touch to lead and motivate by example and has a lot of heart and drive. Casen motivates by example, and multi-tasks very well; he just doesn’t stand back and dictates what needs to be done, he helps or shows what needs to be done. By witnessing these tasks, I have come to understand that Casen is not going to ask someone to do something that he has not done or won’t do. He inspires others to give their best efforts. His personality will immediately put people at ease when they are around him and his sense of pride and attention to detail makes him an outstanding individual. Casen is a trustworthy, ethical, and charitable team player that would be a great asset to any organization. With his Achievements as a 4-year Varsity Letterman in Baseball, 2023 New Mexico State Champion, 2023 New Mexico 5A 1st Team All State OF, 2023 & 2024 New Mexico District 1-5A 1st Team OF, 2023 & 2024 New Mexico District 1-5A All Academic, 2022 New Mexico District 1-5A 2nd Team OF. It would be without any hesitation that I would recommend this genuine young man to any organization as a player, person, or an employee.
