    He spent time answering all of my questions and curiosities as well as explaining things to me in a way I could understand. Additionally, when I spoke to him about my problems he didn’t just write it off as stress or anxiety (which often happens to women) but tried to troubleshoot the problem and see what we could try out to fix it.
