Other Pros To Consider

I get asked for referrals quite a bit, either for specialty training or sports, for trainers who might be available sooner, and for various services like walking and sitting. Please note that although I think these folks will do a great job, I cannot guarantee their work in any way. It's unlikely that I left someone off by mistake, so if you don't see a name you've heard, there's probably a reason! If you think I just haven't met someone yet, please feel free to ask.
