I will cut off applications for the January-February Apprenticeship this Monday Dec 19th at midnight, and start to review them on Tuesday. Right now, I believe that I have 3 other mentors who will also be selecting apprentices. Please DO NOT feel discouraged if you do not get selected this time around. This is an on-going program beginning every two month.

I will try to reply to any questions you have but heck this is a crazy-busy time of year, isnʻt it?

Soon,
~Randy Jay Braun
