Jerome is one of the most caring individuals I have ever met or had the pleasure of working with; especially when it comes to today's YOUTH! His classroom visits are inspiring, informative and real.  He offers advice in a safe and understanding way.  He understands the pressures and stress our young people face today and he offers HOPE! He is an excellent class contributor and presenter.  A must for every Planning class and Healthy living forum.

“Rare is the occurrence when someone presents me with alternative ways of thinking rather than forcing their views down my throat. Because of this, I don’t have to defend my vies and could spend time thinking about what you had said. I believe you’ve had a positive influence in my life – Thank You.” - Sasha, Grade 11, Port Moody Sr.

You have inspired us to look inside our hearts, and to not look at what others have done, but what they will do. You taught us courage and inspired us to have it!. Jerome you came and told a story, you made us understand that we can take our own lives into our own hands. I'm thankful for you showing us a new way of thinking about life." - Katrina, Alta, Amanda, from Sac Town Independent Living Program

For me i am inspired to look forward to the next day and to go after my dreams. Thank you for being here. - Randy - Conference - Fairbanks Alaska, California
