I’ve been enormously blessed, I run the His Light Workshops with one of my best friends, Jim Begley, and I get invited to work with such great, long time friends, as Jack Graham! \u00a0I know I don’t deserve such honors, but God has surely smiled on me. \u00a0I’m going to do something that you will rarely see done by someone that runs a workshop company of their own, recommend another company and leader!!! \u00a0Jack Graham has been \u00a0dear friend for a very long time, but that is not why I think you should consider joining him some day for a workshop, it’s because he has integrity! \u00a0Jack is a very gifted shooter, and even more gifted teacher, and I don’t know of anyone that does more preparation for a workshop that he does. \u00a0He won’t take people somewhere that he does not know incredibly well, and when he gets his students there he takes great care of them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have really enjoyed doing this workshop with Jack and I’m happy to say we are doing two more, one in Death Valley in November and another next June in the Columbia Gorge of Oregon. \u00a0I’m thrilled to be with him in both. \u00a0I love seeing people get really excited about their work, and our image review session tonight was that kind of great experience. \u00a0The work was really good and we really enjoyed teaching.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m thrilled to be rejoining Jim, Snake, and Dave Black in less than two weeks at Shaker Village too! \u00a0It is a real blessing to get to work with such great people!<\/p>\n
