I love speaking to groups, because I love people.  Sharing my story and insight is one of the greatest privileges of my job and I try to bring the same enthusiasm to every event that I bring to “The Daytripper” on TV.  My aim is to create contagious energy having every attendant walk away inspired and excited about Texas, daytripping, or whatever the event purpose may be.   Here are some comments I’ve received.

  • “You helped us focus our theme of “Telling our Stories” in a way no one else could have.”  – Barbara Brannon, PhD, Executive Director, Texas Plains Trail Region
  • “Absolutely fantastic!!! He was the best choice for a keynote.” – Conference Attendee

TOPICS:  I’ve spoken on a number of topics including – my personal story, Texas travel, outdoor recreation and stewardship, day trip ideas, Texas history and culture, food, film making, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and marketing.  I always adjust my message to meet the specific needs of any group and will do the same for you!
