Reviews:

"You are among the most dynamic and charismatic speakers I have ever had the pleasure of hearing and it is obvious that your love of life carries over into everything you do. Your address will be one I will remember 10 years from now. You injected a heavy dose of positive attitude into all of us, and we are all the better for it. Your speech reminded me of the story of Bill Porter, whose life story was recently made into the movie 'Door to Door'. Infectious optimism were products his customers needed."
