Meet the Instructors
Justin
"This class was hugely informative and Justin did a great job. He was careful to answer our questions and cover all the topics we wanted to learn about. The material was challenging but not impossible to learn. I'm definitely taking away a great deal of new knowledge."
Peter Celauro - Blockmaster Electronics
"I liked that the course was fast paced and hit the topics that are most important to get a real good grasp of the framework. It was a lot to cover in 3 days and I thought it was covered well."
Parker Spendlove - Franklin Covey
"Excellent instructor. Knowledgeable, and experienced, in the topic. Readily breaks complex topics into smaller, more easily understood concepts.
Facilities were top notch."
