Cody is trustworthy as a teacher and more- because of his God-given ability to listen and learn.

He is approachable, warm and welcoming at all times, and can be a safe place for those trying to learn and process any given circumstance. He takes his time to watch, and is slow to speak. He takes his craft seriously too, but knows how to let go and have fun in the same breath. Why is he a trustworthy teacher? Because, he IS. He doesn’t have to try- that’s who he just is.
