"I get to do this for a living?"
Sometimes I have to just pinch myself. For almost 20 years I've been fortunate enough to get paid to talk. Literally. Being a professional speaker is exactly what I've wanted to do since 11th grade when I competed in the Rotary 4-Way Test Speech Contest and placed first in my school. From then on it was my mission to become a professional speaker.
After four years of undergrad at Bluffton University in Ohio (where I continued to find ways to present - can you say group project!) and two years of graduate school at Bowling Green State University I decided it was the perfect time to pursue my passion. Ever since I've been traveling, speaking, presenting, training, and dancing across the globe.
​
I even earned the CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) from the National Speakers Association. A designation held by less then %10 of the global speaker population (wait...there's a global speaker population?).
​
My aim is always the same. Entertain and educate. Make people laugh and make people think. Time is our most precious resource and if someone is going to give me theirs - I want to make sure I'm giving them something of value in return. It is an honor to speak for a living and do my best to never forget that. There's lots more of course but this isn't about me - it's about you and your organization. How may I serve?
