I attended one of his lectures last fall and the information he provides in insightful, meaningful, and unlike what any one else provides. Thank you for putting this together and I will definitely try my best to get to vegas to attend and spread the word to all my friends!

    Saw Dr. Oppenlander speak at the University of California Santa Cruz a couple of weeks ago. An amazing lecture that everyone should hear. If you are in the Las Vegas area, go check him out. Well worth it!
