Dear Event Planner/Coordinator,

Have you ever desired a speaker who “gets it”?  Who gets and understand your needs as a coordinator or event planner. Someone who gets and understand the needs of your students and your audience. Most importantly someone who delivers “high value” expertise, wrapped in the “wow“ that will instantly engage your audience to take action... and someone who not only gets it, but has “done it”!

Well let me tell you why I speak, and how it came about.

It all started when I was born with 7.25 fingers and grew up full of insecurities.  This caused me to feel inadequate, insignificant, unworthy,  a complete  “Loser”. The turning point in my life was when I realized how great I actually was regardless of  my physical imperfections, and stopped making excuses.  As a result, I learned how to embrace my  personal uniqueness and  “Finger MESS”, and changed it to a MESSage of SUCCESS that will impact your next event.

Using my 7.25 fingers as a motivation for my “Success System” I was able to receive three advanced scientific college degrees and more than $400,000 in scholarship money; I will show YOUR students how I went to school free. I too worked as a top research scientist at  NASA, Mobil Chemical Company, and CIBA Vision. While doing all of this, I participated as the Olympic Drum major, traveled all across the nation speaking and helping thousands of students. I guarantee my proven system will do the same or better for your students.

From Admissions to Graduation, wherever they are, your students can excel and succeed - if they know the formula to college success. In my talks, I reveal that formula with my  7.25 Success System. My proven system works whether your students are:

1. •new students adjusting to college life,
   

2. •having challenges in academics,
   

3. •difficulty choosing a major,
   

4. •experiencing adversity or
   

5. •graduating into the “real” world.
   

6. 
   

7. 
   

8. Whatever the need, I am sure I have a program to help. These programs can be used for your welcome week, orientations, summer programs, school assemblies, honor ceremonies, and any event where a speaker is needed.
   

In my youth and high school programs, I use my personal message of overcoming adversity to let teens know the importance of getting over past hurts and failures, so 1) they can explore a bright future 2) so they can win inside and outside the classroom and 3) so they can discover their unique personality, niche, and life’s assignment.

I look forward to speaking with you. Contact me today!! I
