“I have had the pleasure of benefiting from Cheryl’s writing through the years on a variety of topics. When Cheryl makes the contact to ask if I have some news to share, the answer is always a profound yes, because I can rest assured her coverage will be on subject and to the point. She has a way with words that relay the message in a very unique and informative way. She can also make me look smarter than I may actually be.”
–Ed Binkley, AIA, president, ed binkley design, Orlando, Florida
