1 周It is very surreal to be associated with so many great people especially Christopher Mohalley who I worked with when I started in this industry 25+ years ago and followed to CSG and then ISL where we both started our journey in training. This is a great industry made up of great people and lifelong relationships. Thank you so much to everyone at ESCO and everyone that has poured into me. I hope to see many of the people I have had the pleasure of working with make this list in the future.
Congratulations to all of those named most influential instructor/trainer.
