The Past

I’ve been to thousands of professional events, conferences, and speeches in my life and many of them have the same problem: the audience isn’t listening. When I began speaking in public many moons ago, I promised I would never be like that guy no one was listening to.

The Present

I’ve held that promise through my political career. I’ve worked with hundreds of audiences and organizations across the Midwest in the last several years presenter, speaker, and trainer, representing my own company and ideas.

The Future

I am ready to work with you to develop a presentation covering what your audience actually wants to learn about. I’ll incorporate your goals, keeping the room engaged and interested.
