Thomas E. (Ted) Dreisinger, PhD, FACSM
President, Therapy Advisors, LLC

Todd, I appreciated the opportunity to work again with you. Last time we worked together, I was super exhausted and I thought you managed a pretty tired, a bit cranky and not particularly well focused guy, and brought out as good a product as possible. I discovered yesterday that you have a consistency that seems simply a part of the fabric of your character...meaning, you weren't doing anything particularly special last time, you were simply being who you are....reminding me of the saying, "...consistency, thou art a jewel.." - Ted
