How to Defy the Odds

We all face challenges in life, but what is it about some people that appear to defy the odds and overcome those challenges and succeed? Watch and hear as I share practical principles that have helped overcome, defy the odds even though I have a bad stutter.

My stutter is just one example of how I have learned to defy the odds. Defying the odds is possible!

Life Lessons of a Liver Transplant Recipient

Life is short, but for some people, it is cut short right in the prime of their life, mine was such a case until I received the "Gift of Life". For 3 years I suffered from, "unknown liver failure", and came extremely close to death. On March 25th, 2017 I received a donor organ and now live a full life again. This talk covers my personal journey, highs, lows, and life lessons I learned as I battled liver failure, and my life crashed all around me. Now I am a UNOS Ambassador giving back and helping raise the awareness and importance of organ donation. This message is all true and filled hope, and practical insights to help medical professionals, patients, families and donor families. There is hope you can live a full life, even after an organ transplant!

Sticks & Stones: How to Stop Bullying

1 out of every 5 students is bullied each day in our schools. Bullying does not just take place in our schools, but it takes place in locker rooms, offices, college campus and more!

Would your school, university or organization like to have me come and speak on this important topic? Contact me and let's talk. This is fast becoming one of my most important presentations as a speaker.
