Speaking engagements 

I suppose it all started with high school when I gave the graduation speech in front of 6,000 hometown folks. Four years later at Indiana University I once again gave the graduating talk – this time in front of some 20,000 people. But regardless of the size of the audience it is the joy of storytelling that I truly love. Here are a few examples…
