What Our Students Have To Say

Mark is a great teacher, mentor and friend. His teaching reaches far outside the classroom with so much experience in the real world. I could not have asked for a better instructor for the two classes that i had with him. Patiently waiting for him to return to my area for another class. Thanks Mark for always making time for me and allowing me to become a better restoration specialist.
