Having a very inexperienced instructor teaching class has some negatives. For example, it tells the classroom that the company doesn't take the material seriously. So it is noteworthy that they have such a low time instructor. That interest is not reflective of him or our opinions of him, though.

Glad he's moved on. Hope he can buy and sell the whole place in a few years.
