We are thrilled to introduce a new instructor to the AIRE faculty for our winter 2007 retreat event. I have heard such amazing things about David, from colleagues, friends and strangers, which lead me to believe he will be a perfect fit with our already wonderful group of instructors.

I am so inspired by the thought of my students working with David, that I have registered for his upcoming Vancouver workshop immediately after our AIRE event.
I cannot wait to play! ML
