He seem to be kind and patient and that's what my grandson needs right now. Thank you.
It was awesome experience my dye enjoyed it.
My lesson was great. I’ve struggled for years to really get everything to come together, and I’m already starting to see and feel how Rick is, and will continue to, make that happen.
