TESTIMONIALS
"Working with Chris is a pleasure. An even greater pleasure, however, is being witness to his interactions with his students. To rely on a cliché, he pushes them into “outside the box” thinking and they seem to relish these opportunities. Chris clearly has a positive rapport with his students and his enthusiasm is practically infectious."
