My experience with Troy’s work is simple – it is exemplary!

His new book and social enterprise are the latest Sammyriffic example of his vision, prowess, and empowerment of youth. I want to offer Troy GARGANTUAN KUDOS. The book and enterprise resonate with me. I hope they resonate with you. I am constantly championing, recommending, mentoring, cajoling, encouraging, and helping both high school and college students to join LinkedIn.
