One of the best Article 9 classes I have taken
Jul 26, 2025
I have been taking Article 9 Classes since I was 18 years old. I am not 34. Chris has been one of the greatest (if not the best) Article 9 instructors I have ever had. His passion for the people that Article 9 protects really shows in his class. I hope that any other classes or trainings that I do in the future are facilitated by Chris. Arizona has a real gem of a person working for them. Thank you Chris.
