Thank you, Phil for your positive and engaging style in offering clarity to a vague regulation. You did an outstanding job, and everyone enjoyed working with you. If we schedule another event, we would definitely request you as our trainer.

Thank you for your leadership of our first Lead RRP training class held last week. All that I spoke with agreed that you were an excellent instructor. Phil, not only were you courteous, polite, and the epitome of a professional, you were also very generous in sharing your broad knowledge and examples of personal experiences with us. I personally came away with a much better understanding about lead and its potential harmful effects to those who are haphazardly exposed to it but, more importantly, I learned how to dispose of it properly. I look forward to working with you again as we are planning more training classes to get the word out about the hazards of lead. Thanks again.

Phil, it was an outstanding day. I came to the class ready to resist all that I was going to hear, but after your presentation I want you to know that I will be an advocate for protecting owners, kids and my workers from the dangers of lead dust. Thanks, you made a potentially boring and frustrating subject into a day of valuable learning.

I came to training with a lot of negative “street talk” and angry about losing a day of work. At the end of the day I completely changed my thinking about the importance of lead safe work practices because of my kids and the kids that live in homes that I work in. Thanks for making this day meaningful and well worth the time spent.

Thanks for your help in resolving the certification issue after yesterday’s class. By the way, you did an excellent job presenting the material and getting the students to engage in the class.

I am so glad I took your training. I painted with my Dad as a young girl and now for several years have my own business. I love to paint and painted through pregnancies and child raising years and now my little girl wants to paint with me. I am scared but first I have to see if I already am poisoned by having blood tests on me and my daughter. Next, I will immediately change the way I work and take this training very seriously in protecting myself, my daughter and the families whose homes I work in. Thank you so much. I feel you saved us from future lead poisoning by training me in how to work safely.

“I have worked with Phil on a number of occasions as a fellow instructor of EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) classes for contractors, renovators and painters.
Phil is one of the best instructors I ever worked with.
He is knowledgeable in the field and he knows how to interact with class attendees to keep their interest and to relate to them as a peer, rather than talk down at them, as many lesser instructors do.
I particularly like the "Coaching 4 Contractors" concept. I have worked with many instructors, and Phil is the only one who offers practical business advice to help contractors not only learn the technical requirements of the rules, but also to learn techniques to look more professional and to run their businesses better.
I think so much of the concept that I try to use some of Phil's ideas in my own classes.”August 25, 2011
