"Absolutely wonderful experience. This was my first time leading a community shred event, and Joey of Briar Patch made it very easy. He gave great instructions to my team of volunteers, and that helped us have a smooth flow of how we served each vehicle that pulled in to shred their papers. Thanks for the professionalism."
