Introduction

Hi, folks. If you are looking for versatility, you have come to the right place. Magically, I have entertained "kids" from as young as 3 to as old as 103. The corporate crowd loves me because I have been one of them (national award winning salesman and product manager for a Fortune 500 Company). Close up, stage, walkaround? I have been doing all three for over 30 years, for schools, corporations, trade shows, awards banquets, and just plain old let's have fun parties. As a speaker, I have presented keynote and motivational talks for corporate, community, and church groups. I am currently featuring a presentation called "Guaranteed Roads to Success"(with a twist you will absolutely not see coming), have authored two books and working on a third. I can motivate young and old, professional and student, corporate and community, with an excitement to get off of the couch and do something, even during this time of Covid. I show how not to get bogged down by "what I can't do." Virtual or in person. Let's do this!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Pricing is based on type and duration of engagement, size of audience, and whether there is preplanning requiring several meetings (such as keynote speaker)

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I find out the client's objectives, and then put together a show or presentation to best fit the client's needs.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

15 years of executive sales and management, including Salesman of the Year, Pfizer. 40 years of magic and comedy, both close up and stage.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Started with just a simple show, blossomed into a motivational show. Religious organizations and senior centers started hiring me to be their keynote speaker. Loved it, loved the people. Realized that I had a wealth of experience on which to draw.

What types of customers have you worked with?

kids from 3-103, corporate engagements, trade shows, motivational speaking, night clubs, MC, senior living centers, schools, community centers, and a host of others

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

just finished a 40 show tour with Prince George's County Parks and Planning, then turned around and did a motivational program, "Not all superheroes wear capes" for an assisted living community. The sponsor told me that one of the residents enjoyed it so much, she said, "If you ever have him back. you'd better let me know." I was invited back two months later.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

If you are looking for the least expensive, I am probably not a good fit. If you are looking for the best value, let's talk.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What are your specific goals? What is your target audience. Do you want a training module?What is your budget, how much pre meeting preparation between speaker and client?
