"Tom did a great job presenting to the students in my Deal making class. The students really appreciated his thoughtful and candid assessment on the rise and fall of govWorks."

Tom's presentation to the Rochester Entrepreneurial Society was one of the best we have had in 10 years. He discussed specific business issues that he experienced and turned them into valuable lessons that will clearly help any business manager or entrepreneur achieve higher levels of business success, without making the avoidable mistakes that cause so many business failures.

"Tom did a tremendous job with my law students in the basic Business Associations course. He is an energetic and lively speaker who kept the students paying attention (no small feat on a Friday) and his frank discussion of the successes and failures of govWorks greatly enhanced the use of the movie as a teaching tool. I highly recommend him."
