Thank you for providing his services to me.
He is a wealth of knowledge and experience and conveys it in digestible bites. Being laid off after many years and being thrown into a job pool during a pandemic is never easy but John actually made this fun and challenging. I look forward to our calls and I am motivated to do my homework."
