Hire Me For Your Next Event.

Your group loves having guest speakers. Attendance goes up when a strange face appears before them. Excitement and energy fill the room. Smiling faces, nodding heads, and looks of “Aha!” spread like wildfire.

The excitement from a quality speaker can last for months.

So can paying the bill.

But what if the speaker wasn’t doing it just for the money? What if his regular job paid him well enough that he did it just for your success?

I am your guy!

Professional?         Every speaking engagement is custom-tailored to your group and designed to fit within your time constraints. I supply professional notes, a quality slide presentation and useful tools you can implement right away.

Educational?  I am a teacher at heart. My real skill is in making hard subjects simple. No fancy jargon or fifty-cent words, just plain talk and learning made easy.

Entertaining?  Hey, I play with toys for a living, remember?  

Affordable?  Money is not my motivating factor. I already have a successful retail business. Fees vary depending on the event and are definitely negotiable. I want to work within your budget.
