    "Nigel always rocks the house. We all benefit so much from his research. Seeing this in ASL makes the anatomy and processes so visual they are easy to understand. We benefit so much from seeing the correct mouth morphemes that go with signs/classifiers. He aways makes everyone feel comfortable."

    "Completely blown away! I do not do medical interpreting, however, I find this very helpful for the classroom. Even though I won’t need to go in elaborate detail (I don’t think) it was amazing to learn the digestive system, its process and the classifiers to use for that purpose. Nigel had an amazing plethora of knowledge that he warmly shared all the while pumping us up and humbly presenting himself as a “learner” as well."
