""Ziad Abdelnour is the epitome of class and character. His financial acumen, political insight, and leadership style create an environment for success and healthy business interactions, which are free of internal politics. He is not only a financial genius but also an authentic individual. I have been privileged to work alongside him on the further development of the Financial Policy Council, the premier online political think tank, and as a Partner with him at his firm Blackhawk Partners, Inc. On all fronts, Ziad's leadership style reflects his passion and commitment to excellence. He is a hardcore capitalist and patriotic visionary. His mission is to help others create wealth and to educate the public on sound fiscal policy. Most importantly, I have come to know Ziad as a personal friend and as a man of his word. He has shared a great deal of his business and personal stories with me, and I have been inspired by his unwavering determination, his resolute commitment to principles, and his earnest friendship. I recommend him to anyone for business or as a new friend"."
