I am responding to the recent Letter to the Editor from John Huismann (Signal, Sept. 14) regarding Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District’s executive director, Skyler Archibald, and his management capabilities. I have had the pleasure of working with Skyler on several different projects both in his official job capacity and as a dedicated Rotarian. Never have I ever felt anything but total respect for his decision-making, listening and leadership skills. He has built an outstanding and committed team of employees at SEPRD and I can only imagine what amazing innovations he will bring to our community in the future. I would never have a reason to doubt his competence in managing and directing the expansion of the present facilities. I am proud to call Skyler a friend, and I am even more proud of his professional accomplishments. I would definitely support him wholeheartedly in all current and future SEPRD endeavors.
