"The time you take to incorporate our message into your presentation makes your comments so very valuable to us. Many speakers are funny, like you, but few can get the message across as you did. You have the ability to capture the hearts and minds of the audience."

G. J. Errion, Regional Operations Manager Ford Motor Company

"In the many years of attending and arranging speaker presentations, I have heard many who are funny and many who have a message to deliver. I have not heard one who can deliver a meaningful message with as much good humor as you did last week for the 92nd Annual Convention of the Independent Insurance Agents Association of Maine. The way in which you personalized the presentation with issues pertinent to independent insurance agents as well as using the names of some of our leadership made everyone feel that you were part and parcel to the independent agency system, and especially to ours in Maine! Thanks for a great speech. I know we will hear your name at conventions for years to come!"

Joseph M. Colpitts Director of Education & Conferences The Independent Insurance Agents Association, Inc.
