No, I am not thinking of starting one. Something that popped up in one of the other training threads spawned this idea. A member had not heard of a current who's who in the training industry, and I figured there are probably more than one. I thought we could put together a list of Hall of Fame level trainers. Not just all stars or popularity contest guys and gals, but honest to goodness difference making lifetime contributing trainers. There are some people who are up to the teaching level of this IMHO, guys like Paul Sharp, Randy Harris, John Hearn, but these guys are not everyday names for most of us. (I know, none of them are famous on the grand scale, but you get my meaning.) I am going to start with some names that you can agree or disagree with, and feel free to add some of your own. I am not looking for a measuring contest here, but more of a reference for newbies and a way to have fun.
Jeff Cooper
Louis Awerbuck
Tom Givens
Ken Hackathorn
Massad Ayoob
Craig Douglass
Clint Smith
Chuck Taylor
Dave Spaulding
John Farnam
I have left some names out, and forgot others. I am sure we won't agree on all of the names that come up, but rhino and I can have the final word on who makes it.
