    Topher was an excellent mentor and guide to walk our family through the complex university selection and admissions process. His approach educated and inspired Zachary in understanding his passions, priorities and opportunities when it came to exploring his life work interests, option for a majors, and best fit universities. In the end Zach has been accepted to several universities and is making a decision based on a well thought out process! We couldn’t have done it without Topher!
