I want to Thank you again for the opportunity to join RBA at the Spec Shaman Summit. The attendee group was sensational. Most importantly the objectives were met eloquently. I can not place a time or event that I have ever received the amount of valuable information with various perspectives. Roy and Craig were sensational.
