That is where I met Dustin when he was a nurse for a student. He went beyond his duties. Besides giving this student excellent medical care, he made sure his other needs were met too!! He has since expanded his career and owns several Group Homes now. He continues to go above expectations for his clients, family, and friends!! He is exceptionally knowledgeable in so many areas and truly cares about all people!!!”
