“Addis Shepherd is one of very few people I feel comfortable talking to. He's very knowledgeable and understanding. He provides correct and precise critical questions/insight that's needed. There was a particular situation he had pegged correctly after 1 month of discussing. It took me one year to fully process and realize he was absolutely correct.”
