Here you go.
I have worked with Tom now for 2 years. He is a great instructor and has the ability to point out areas for improvement, in a way that makes it easy to incorporate. Very knowledgeable with the ability to pinpoint small adjustments that make a difference. There are many choices for instructors in the area, but my choice is always Tom!
