"I walked on stage for the first time, a shy teenager, in front of a thousand high school students, hearing my pitch for a schoolwide elected position. My speech was polished. My purple button down and tie were pressed. I won the vote, and what I most remember was a girl that I liked telling me that I sat on stage like an absolute statue while all the other candidates gave their speeches. It was a compliment, I think.

That was my Hallmark movie start to a surprisingly robust speaking resume. I say surprising as I was the last guy who fancied being in front of the crowd. I ponied up the courage to step forward in that election to boost my resume for college. The reality was that I ran from the public eye after eight years of mockery from bullies and former friends at school.

“Your greatest weakness shall become your greatest strength,” is what I tell my members and students, and it’s something I’ve proven to be true. After my turbulent early years, where I hid, I have stood in front of a multitude of classrooms, on New York City stages, and in front of Hollywood movie cameras. I have sung songs, motivated crowds, and conducted live inner-transformational sessions for audiences.

I have spoken in the spotlight over a thousand times, in venues big and small, live and online, across different countries and languages. Specifically on the educational front, topics have ranged from leadership to living in a quantum reality, from elite performance to exceptional relationships, from passion to purpose, from values to vision.

My calm focus is placed on inspiring and awakening. I combine my various performance talents to find the perfect way to reach the heart of the audience."
