Overview
First-person historical portrayals of President Abraham Lincoln in a wide variety of settings, including schools, libraries, senior residence centers, museums, churches, re-enactments, living history events, parades, conventions, parties, running races/triathlons, etc. I do in-person events, and also VIRTUAL events via video conferencing (Zoom), live streaming (YouTube Live, Facebook Live), and pre-recorded videos (YouTube). I do programs in Spanish as well as English, and even a basic program in either French or German.

He presented at lake denoon Middle School And when some of the people were asking very obscure questions he stayed perfectly in character (President Lincoln) And when so long with everything really well, as well as having brought two different forms of the American flag a copy of the Gettysburg address and authentic attire for the bit he was playing.
Very well done, and thank you for being there.

Kevin/Abe is the spitting image of Lincoln, and went above and beyond to make our event a great time. He is a passionate history buff, and enthralled everyone with his stories of Lincoln. Phenomenal!

We invited President Lincoln to our housewarming event to give a surprise toast and mingle with our guests. Not only was he an absolute professional, he was an absolute legend. Everyone has been asking us where we found him, how he looked SO much like our 16th president, etc. Above all, working with Kevin was a lovely experience and we highly recommend hiring him if you're thinking about it.

The presentation was amazing! He was very willing to answer questions and everyone was impressed with his depth of knowledge about Mr. Lincoln. He was able to talk about US history, numerous people associated with Mr. Lincoln at various times in his life and personal aspects of the President's life. It was very informative and entertaining and I would highly recommend him for any group interested in learning more about President Lincoln and his contributions.

Our 5th grade students loved having Abe Lincoln come visit! They couldn't stop talking about it after he left. He was extremely knowledgeable about his topic and presented in a way that made students feel as if they were talking to the real Lincoln.
