Earl is a true gift! When I signed up I didn’t know who I’d get in this forum but I’m so fortunate to get Earl and have his help in my life as I transition from a married family guy to a single guy empty nested. Earl has been a wonderful person helping me excel, relax, recover and move on. I can’t recommend him enough. Patrick
