Chis is seriously the best. He inspires a stronger desire to do this type of work. He is a great teacher and inspires a heart-centered approach within this field of work, which is desperately needed. Thanks, Chris for your time and energy! :)

Chris is passionate and caring, a wonderful guide for advocates
Dec 7, 2024
Chris shows such an immense understanding of the material. He provided real world examples, answered all the class questions honestly, and portrayed himself as a true advocate. He showed us his own faults so that we could learn from it. He acknowledged hard truths in order to reach anyone who may need to learn that way. His words inspired me, and I hope they inspired others to advocate earnestly and always do the right thing as DSP's.

Amazing, the best Article 9 course I've ever taken!
Dec 3, 2024
Typically needed classes like these can be pretty boring and repetitive. This is the first class I've taken in a LONG time that was extremely engaging and I learned a lot. Chris was very engaging and talked about a lot of "miniscule" parts about Article 9 that are often missed. Very great class, I definitely want to take this class again in 3 years!

I read reviews that Chris was passionate and I questioned it after how long he has been in the field and how frequently he holds this course…. but sure enough… Chris is fantastic! He truly shows his unbending loyalty to this cause. I’m proud to have happened upon his course!
