"My daughter has been working with Kevin at QBK for over a year. She has been playing indoor volleyball for several years and has worked with many coaches, but Kevin is truly exceptional. He has a rare combination of skill, professionalism, kindness, and patience. He is able to understand players as athletes and individuals and is able to meet his trainees where they are while challenging them to do their best on the court. He thoughtfully structures each session, focuses on both strategy and technique, and always encourages growth. My daughter was lucky to have met and work with Kevin and hopes to continue training with him when she is home during college breaks.

"Sean Nowell is a music instructor with great integrity, enthusiasm and vision. His passion for both music and teaching are apparent in every lesson. As non-musicians, we were most impressed with the time and care he took with our son explaining how to get the best out of his instrument including care and maintenance. Most importantly, Sean provided the necessary inspiration to help our son move beyond seeing himself as just playing in a school band to a confident musician who looks forward to pursuing a career in music.
