Testimonials
“I found the seminar to be extremely worthwhile and challenging.
Coming from someone who now sells board/packaging papers, I
found the applications, substrate differences, and manufacturing of
board to be very productive.”
“Very informative. I’ve been in packaging for 29 years but just
getting started in board purchasing, so I needed to know more
about substrates and their end uses.”
“I was able to glean info from all sections. It really helped my
understanding of paper production. The instructors were experts
with good presentation skills.”
Comments from recent engagements:

12. Dan is as good at professional training and teaching difficult concepts
as I have seen in my extensive professional career. While at MWV,
Dan created the Paperboard Knowledge Seminar from scratch and
perfected this offering so that it became the gold standard in our
industry. Through his efforts we acquired new customers and delighted
existing customers. . . . . Dan trained engineers and even hourlies to
give complex presentations as if they had been trained in sales and
marketing. . . . Dan is a giver and it has been a pleasure to have had
the opportunity to work with him over all these years.” Jack C.
