"I have known Greg Smith for quite a long time, since shortly after the BioNetwork came into being and have used him for industry training on numerous occasions. He has always had a talent for transferring the knowledge and experience he has into a format that allows trainees to internalize and apply the skills being taught. His manner in the classroom is approachable and congenial; consistently, trainees comment on that fact. The experience he brings into the training environment is invaluable and utilizing methods (games, interaction) reinforces the concepts. Greg is someone that I personally and professionally hold in high regard.
