Ed thanks so much for the EPA Certified Renovator class today. I was very impressed not only of your teaching ability but your knowledge. Its been a hard road for me to adjust from building to remodeling. But I believe the way you do, that is do it right or get out. Thanks again. Terry Dunn

user Terry Dunn Heartland Home Builders

Ed Wenz is organized, thorough, and brings his work experience in contracting, county government, and risk assessment to teaching the RRP and supervisor courses--which I took. He is a natural communicator with many stories and examples to explain the material. I especially liked the street-wise methods Ed shared that make compliance both common-sense and easy. I recommend that professionals take his courses. “With 37 years in the environmental industry, I have experienced both good and bad training/seminars/workshops. I am writing to state that Ed's Lead Abatement Supervisor course was one of the best continuing education experiences I have had in my career. Ed brings tremendous experience to the course; he is a natural communicator; he is practical. I have recommended Ed's training suite to my staff.”

He made it easy to understand and gave hand-on advice to make the job easier. Hey - also thanks for the tip on the rrp wipes/floor wipes/hand washing station (you should patent it).

user Jim 1st Aid Plumbing, LLC

Thanks for the class this morning. It was great being able to have just our small group in training this morning. Made it a lot easier and enjoyable to absorb everything that we had to put into our brains (which isn’t an easy task to do with our group!). The time just flew by and I appreciated your teaching style. If I ever decide to get more training into the lead business, I’ll definitely be looking you up. Thanks again!

user Rita City of Ann Arbor Bldg Dept

Thanks a lot for yesterday’s training. You were clear and to the point. The subject material makes sense and it was presented well. Your practical approach is refreshing and you see through the bs that is tossed around by the EPA, DOE, etc. And here is one for you, I don’t think that you charge enough for this service. I got a bargain at $200.00. I’m just sayin’.
