“Travis was my NACE Level 2 instructor. He went above and beyond for me as a student. He was very detailed in his teachings and helped me be able to relate the material to real life coating scenarios. He prepared me for not only the class, but also prepared me for the issues I might face in the field. I would highly recommend Travis when it comes to his expertise in coatings and continuing education. He is one of my first contacts when I need help or have a question about a coating issue. He is always quick to respond and always very helpful. I would highly recommend Travis as an instructor, as well as, my go-to for all of my coating questions.”
