Here's a testimonial from a a recent student, "Hey Chris, Just wanted to drop you a line about Chris Hickman. He is hands down the best instructor I've had yet. He has went way out of his way to respond to my questions (especially those out of the scope of the course) and has been readily accessible at all hours and even on SUNDAY! We will never find a more dedicated person in any profession. He is just one of a few guys out there who takes what he does seriously enough to go the extra stretch to do his job. I don't think he even considers what he does a job. I think you must already know it."
