Ethan Hyatt - Pathfinder Level One
"Very professional, helpful and proficient, I was very impressed by the service and the ability of Dustin to answer all my questions about the course I applied for."
Harry Taylor - Pathfinder Level One
"Having recently completed the Pathfinder Level 1 course, I was lucky enough to meet Dustin and personally experience his passion and dedication for Wildlife Protection. Here's a wholesomely modest good guy who genuinely interests himself with the people involved - before and even after the courses have transformed you. His first-hand knowledge of the program itself as well as the industry makes him the best available guide/advisor, heck even mentor at times. Highly commendable - as a human as well as an agent. Thanks for everything Dustin!"
Shasheen Walton - Pathfinder Level One
"Me and my friend have been treated with such kindness, professionalism and an obvious will to help out, that you very seldom see today. Dustin truly cares and want's you to have a great experience and what ever the problem is, he will not only have the greatest of patience he will make sure everything falls into place. I am sure I speak both for me and my friend, when I say we have nothing but the best to say about Dustin and Global Guardians Conservation Fund. Very highly recommended."
