Keynote speaker - Children’s Miracle Network, International Sponsor Summit, Salt Lake City, UT

No...thank YOU! For the exceptional opportunity to work with such an organization. With the philanthropy of the Miracles And Magic show I produce, this cause is right up my alley and I'm thrilled we were able to make it work. Thank you Dan! Your mission and passion to make the world a better place for those who need it most is truly an inspiration to me. I'm thrilled I could be the motivational speaker that could add some inspiration to your most important corporate partners. You know my number, let me know when I can help again.

Trade show magician for Society of Petroleum Engineers - National Convention, Denver, CO

Second time working at the Society of Petroleum Engineers Convention, this time out in Denver...but didn't have time to hit the slopes. (Did see my brother and my new niece though! Thanks Tim, Debi, Carson and...Layla). Great team at IHS - thank you for all the laughs and the excitement. 

Keynote speaker - Bermuda - Nationwide Insurance

Nationwide Insurance, Bermuda (AAhhhh…)

Do you call this work? In reality, all the work takes place the week before in terms of preparation, messaging, research and more.  However, being the keynote speaker for an incentive trip definitely ranks up on the top of my list as one of my favorite things to do. Generally, my wife always chimes in as well with the "I've never been there" hint which sometimes results in an extra ticket.

They are fun for me because the group is always in good spirits and I have the opportunity to work with the Best of the Best....hey - that's a catchy name for a book...Hmmm. Check it out here! Always a pleasure to work with Nationwide - thank you Tom and Cindy.

Dayton Miracles And Magic Photos

WOW - a tremendous group of children, audience, talent and venue. Thanks to all those sponsors, supporters and entertainers who helped continue to build the Miracles and Magic Dream.

Dayton hosting its second show proved to raise the bar. With approx. 300% growth from the previous year I again had the opportunity to host and produce an amazing event. Along with my friends; motivational ventriloquist David Crone, Comedy magician and Chief Imaginator Eric Buss and amazing comedy juggler Nels Cremean we were able to raise nearly $50,000 for children with life threatening illnesses. At the same time providing them a chance to just be a kid again and forget about the hospital beds, shots and treaments and instead just come experience the laughter and amazment of this Vegas style variety show.

Juniper – 4th Quarter Sales Rally Keynote speech - Maumee Bay, Ohio

Now THIS was an interesting one. When I moved to Ohio in 1995, I chose to do so to work for MCI telecommunications. It was a great job, with a great team of co-workers that I really enjoyed. My boss there was Mike Isler....who I am happy to say is now my client as the leader of the sales team for Juniper. Thank you Mike for allowing me to meet and work with your great team THEN...and NOW. It was an honor and privilege to have worked for you at MCI and then to be the guest keynote speaker for your current team.
