I cannot stress this enough: Rick is one of the best educators I have ever had the opportunity to learn from. Generally speaking, Rick is clear and articulate, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. More specifically, his mastery of Agile and Scrum concepts is very evident in his teachings. He is clearly a talented coach and motivational educator! Also, Rick has the unique ability to draw complicated concepts to make them extremely digestible. Rick’s expertise will drive you or your team to new heights, guaranteed.

I had a great learning experience with Rick in my CSM session. He was able to clarify all of my questions, and to offer suggestions on how to tackle various scenarios. Within a month of taking Rick’s CSM course, I was able to transition into a Scrum Master role! I’m looking forward to implementing everything I learned from Rick!

Got an opportunity to attend CSM workshop with Rick back in June. I really enjoyed being in his class, he is detail oriented, knowledgeable and well prepared about the course. I was successfully able to pass the test on the first attempt. Looking forward taking many more classes with him in the future.

In August 2021, I took a CSM course taught by Rick. It definitely exceeded my expectations! Rick is very driven and works to tailor the course to each student combining an engaging teaching style with substantive experience. His passion for Agile comes out in how he shares each principle, story and historical artifact. Beyond that, its relevance has assisted me in my day-to-day in better supporting my team of software developers within a Scrum environment. I highly recommend his CSM course! It’s more than worth the price of admission!

I was honored to attend Rick’s CSM course, and heartily recommend that anyone wanting to become a Certified Scrum Master sign up for one of his classes.

The course was engaging, interesting, helpful, and immersive. Rick is a fantastic, engaged teacher and servant leader. His lessons equipped me so well for the exam.

Months later, I still leverage the thorough lessons, Rick’s wise insight, and the amazing conversations he facilitated among fellow students in my group every single day. The course directly helped me to equip and authentically serve my small and growing team of engineers.

I even made some friends!

I attended Rick’s CSM certification course. The course was very engaging and given real-life examples from his experience. I have a lot of misconceptions about the scrum fundamentals and agile concepts that were cleared by Rick during the course. For me, it was a very good learning experience. Since attending and completing the course certification, I started attending the Scrum retro’s in my company as well, which is an amazing experience. Some of the exercises in the course were quite hand’s on and team-oriented and help me understand the lectures very well. Rick is a good teacher, I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

I took a CSM class with Rick over the summer and he did an excellent job at teaching the course in a comprehendible way. I took the test on the Monday following the weekend course and passed and got my CSM! I’ll absolutely take another course from him again in the future and recommend him if you’re looking to further your career development through obtaining certifications.

Rick was absolutely incredible as a trainer. He had everyone fully engaged during classes and made it very interactive. I truly enjoyed his class and definitely recommend him to others. I do plan on taking additional classes with Rick in the near future. Thanks a million Rick!!! I learned so much and currently utilizing the skills I’ve learned.

Rick broke down the material for my CSM course really well and engaged with the class via multiple mediums. Rick not only discussed the topics in a very easy to understand way but also utilized visual tools which solidified the concepts further. I really liked that the course incorporated real life business examples which would apply at a normal place of work. I would highly recommend Rick in an instructor and coach capacity because he truly cares about his students and is available to provide mentorship when it is needed.
