This has allowed me to keep a focus on my path and continue to achieve higher in education and excellence.

Dr. Porter instilled in me the Michigan traditions of what it means to be the Leaders and the Best. If you are looking for someone who goes above and beyond what he is called to do, then I would highly recommend Dr. Porter for any of his services.

“Jeff told me I could achieve anything in this life if I work hard, and then he went off and made his first Olympic team.

He told me I could overcome any setback if I persevere, and then he went off and earned his doctorate.

When I was told to consider giving up my dream of becoming a dentist because I didn’t have the grades to get in, Jeff told me to have faith in God’s plan for me and take the admittance test anyway.

To this day I’m waiting to hear, “I told you so.”
