Your Instructor/ Guide:
I’m really excited to offer these two great courses. My passion has always been in teaching and being able to offer something more than just a guide trip really stokes me out.
When people set out to learn something new and invest themselves in the process, results are sure to follow. Being able to provide a more complete guide to the sport is truly special.
The knowledge and techniques in this course have been honed and fine tuned over my career in the industry and are sure to help you avoid the frustration and set backs of learning on your own.
Thanks,
Dave Harvey
