Mike, while you were talking to others in the course at your Training Center, your training staff was gracious enough to give me a drifting tutorial - it was awesome.  I might have earned a belt buckle during the Rigging Rodeo if they were my teammates!  

I learned a ton this week and was humbled when I realized how little I truly understand and comprehend about the true world of rigging. Your company, instructors, and rigging training are the absolute best and I have no doubt that you guys will continue to expand and help the industry to be safer and better.

I will highly recommend your training to all of the Coasties I train and I also plan on trying to set up a Level 3 in Yorktown, Virginia for my crew. Once again thanks for making me think harder than I have in years and making me more informed and educated in rigging.
