In early February I had the pleasure of interviewing Travis Bader, founder and owner of Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, at his offices in Ladner, BC. It's an interview I've wanted to conduct for many years so it was a real treat to finally have the opportunity to sit down and speak with him in person.
