For 7 years he has headed BrainTrust Educational Consulting (BTEC), a consulting and coaching service that has serviced hundreds of very satisfied clients. The social service arm of BTEC is College Knowledge, Inc. which allows him to do what he enjoys most — working within the community. Baxter can often be found interacting with elementary and high school students speaking on the importance of career development in relation to college preparation. Planning college trips during Spring breaks for 10th – 12th graders is his greatest joy as the experience forms a real connection that turns on the lights for those youngsters who participate. It is his pleasure to assist parents with getting and keeping their student in school with the goal to get that college diploma.
