"I have had the pleasure of working with Blaine on a number of instructional products geared towards advanced derivatives trading and can say that he is by far one of the best instructional designers I've worked with. His unparalleled work ethic and his extensive experience in the field of education shines through in everything he produces. Blaine most certainly has my recommendation for any position, especially in the field of instructional design, to which he aspires."

"Blaine is the perfect person to work with and have work for you on your team. Blaine joined me at By The Bulls Trading as one of my Instructional Designers and would make content for the company in 2019. Blaine never disappointed and constantly over achieved with his projects and duties assigned to him. Blaine would do not only what was asked of him, but would often form and create extra educational content without even be asked for our stakeholders.
Blaine was then given role of Administrative Consultant where he kept his regular duties but also took on Data Analysis duties for me. The company is very reliant on proper data being distributed in a way our stakeholders and I can digest and act upon it. Blaine did once again over achieved and went as far as to do this role and I still use his techniques to run my own company.
I recommend Blaine for any instructional designer, data analysis, or E-Learning role he pursues."

"I have been working with Blaine for the past year and a half while we worked together to create instructional products geared towards financial literacy and specialized derivative trading. Blaine's approach to design is fun, engaging, and highly educational. Blaine has a fantastic creative energy about him and easily comes up with unique ways to make otherwise mundane topics interesting. I can't recommend him enough for any position in instructional design."
