Certified Clogging Instructor

In 2002, I took a look at the Certified Clogging Instructor program offered through CLOG, inc. I decided it was something I would like to do, so I signed up, travelled to Ashville, NC to take the mandatory classes, and I was on my way! This page shows the accomplishments and activities I performed in the two years I took to earn all my points.
