Hi Guys,
Nice spot with Dave Garafolo. I think a lot of us locally are lucky to have access to 2Guys; they are one of the best (if not the best) out there. They do know the business, and Dave really enjoys what he is doing.
I would definitely consider getting a part time job (for the knowledge, of course) with him and his team.
