Testimonials
"Dave,
I appreciate your quick review and response on my black belt project. I enjoyed your class with its basis on real life problems and solutions rather than the tedious devotion to statistics that are readily available by computer program. I will recommend you and the UWM program in the future.
Thanks" — Bill Bryar, Waukesha Electrical Systems
