I tailor each show to a specific audience. I focus on the power of a growth mindset, overcoming failure, and the role grit plays in success. These are concepts students, employees, and staff can all use to achieve more in life. I can also speak to STEM education in-depth or focus on entertainment through juggling, balancing, and humor.

I incorporate juggling, balancing, humor, and Guinness World Records to create powerful and memorable impressions. I can speak anywhere from 90 seconds to an hour with an audience-specific message.
