I received comments from a bunch of the Vendors and Attendees about what a great choice I made by scheduling him as our Keynote Speaker for the Kick-Off Luncheon. The inspiration and sense of humor throughout Todd's presentation, coupled with the Kentucky Headhunters Concert that night, made the opening day of the Conference a great success. Plus, working with Julie was a joy and made event preparations go smoothly.”
~ Jack R. - Kentucky Society of Healthcare Engineers

Todd & Julie were great to work with and very interested in learning more about the audience prior to the conference in order to meet our specific needs.I have already referred Todd to others."
~ Kelley T. - Program Director FBLA

“Todd's presentation was fantastic! He showed our group how we could use his experiences to overcome our own challenges and reach our goals - and I found myself repeating many of his inspirational stories in the days following our conference. We are so glad Todd was our opening speaker!"
~ Lorrie H. - Financial Women of Texas

“Todd’s NO EXCUSES safety presentation is the best I’ve ever heard! And as a linesman for over 20 years, I’ve heard a number of them. He has a great sense of humor, which coupled with his compelling life story, really keeps the audience’s attention. He brings home the idea of safety from a completely different perspective with his I.C.E. method. Even months after his presentation, I still think about the various lessons I learned from him. When I go to work I find myself paying closer attention to details to ensure all of my employees are able to go home to their family and friends at the end of the day – it makes you think about what you and your employees have to look forward to in life. Furthermore, he helped us to realize that no matter what we’ve gone through in life, we can overcome the challenges. More people need to hear Todd’s message and safety presentation! I would recommend him to ANY group!"
~ Jose G. - Municial Electric Safety Exchange Convention

“We consider two-thirds positive feedback about a speaker a landslide. TODD GOT 100%"
~ Steve M. - Umatilla Electric Banquet
