If you have any questions, comments, or need to contact me for any reason, TEXTING me is ALWAYS the best way to contact me. If you need to talk over the phone, which I very much encourage, text me your name, the name of the class, a request that I call you, and when the best time to call you would be (including “as soon as possible”), and I will call you the first chance I have or at the time you request. Do not think you are somehow bothering me by texting me. Digging through emails and course messages and somehow missing one from you or forgetting to respond bothers me. Don’t call the phone number listed on the UA-PTC website. Use my cell number is listed below:
