We enjoyed his Training

Mr. Walker and his crew are top-notch. We enjoyed his training and appreciate him taking the time out of his schedule to provide us with the information required for us to do SCP with more confidence. He didn’t miss a beat, with it being 0200 EST. We are very appreciative for all that he and his personnel provided.
