@Kurtis Wolfe I appreciate your relatively unique situation and your standard auto response that you posted earlier is fair in your case. I would be curious of your constructive opinion on the topic of someone questionable. Not all cities are lucky enough to have someone as easily verifiable as you are.
There are providers that don't have legit seeming reviews, nothing on daddy's, and no answers to 411 posts on here. I have tried those methods with a particular guy with no success so asking for some verification seems the only way in this particular case to play it safe.
