Speaking

I love taking the stage – with others or solo. See some highlights of recent speaking engagements below.

If you are saying, “I don’t need any convincing – I’m ready”, you can book me to speak right now.

My style can best be described as “full of passion with a dash of humor and sarcasm.” I have never been shy in large crowds. Maybe that’s because I spent a few years teaching 8th graders American History. My wife tells me that I crave the spotlight. No argument there.

My recent professional speaking experience includes live talks, webinars, and panel discussions on topics such as email marketing, social media, & email marketing + social media. On the personal side, I have given talks ranging from “Dude” to “Why I Quit Bottled Water 594 Days Ago … And You Should Too.”
