Drawing on decades of seasoned experience as a performing artist, most notably, as Ringmaster of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, I keep audiences rapt, engaged, and levitated with light humor and an ability to eloquently think on my feet and handle various scenarios as an Emcee/Host. As a Speaker, I am able to customize keynotes in accordance to your needs or I can share one of a number of well received keynotes on topics regarding Leadership, Team building, Authenticity, Pivoting, and Family. My presence has been known to make any event, an occasion to remember.

Fortunately, I am low maintenance. I need only a quality sound system and engineer, good lightening, and when necessary a lectern.
