That’s why we’re proud to welcome Noel Frank into the contributor fold as the man behind our new column, “Coach’s Corner.” Noel’s been in and around the cleaning and restoration industry for years. From his early days in Waco, Texas to his current position as the director of education for Chemspec, he’ll be drawing on his decades of experience to present a decidedly dif-ferent approach to breaking down the tools and techniques vital to the professional carpet cleaner. Here’s a brief snippet: Why call it “Coach’s Corner”? It’s a play on my background as a high school math teacher and football and basketball coach. My coaching included stints in Arizona, California, and Tex-as. The highlight was coaching a team that won a football state championship in Texas. Many of my friends and former players still refer to me as “coach.” Keeping with the theme, the column will feature segments designated with sports terminology, such as instant replay (re-ferring to a previous segment), extra point (a segment which features input from a reader), pinch hitter (input from another “coach”), time out (a reader’s question), etc. Doesn’t sound like your run-of-the-mill format, does it? Noel’s inaugural col-umn on page 26 will give you a little more information about him, where he’s been and where he’s going, and how the “Coach’s Corner” will help you get more out of your operation.
