In the fall of 2002 I was invited by a co-worker to join Toastmasters Club 9086, Office Depot Toastmasters, in Delray Beach, Florida.  Unlike many members, I did not join to overcome a fear of speaking in public.  I joined out of a passion to speak.  The first time I spoke in public was at my grandmother's funeral when I was 8 years old.  In the 5th grade, I was invited to speak in the Optimist Oratorical Speech Contest in Hagerstown, Indiana.  I have been speaking in front of groups ever since.

As a member of Toastmasters, I have served in nearly every club officer role, as an Area Governor, Division Governor, District Webmaster and Speaker's Bureau Chairman.  I not only have a passion to speak, I also have a passion to watch others blossom as a result of their experience in Toastmasters.  It's not just about the speaking.  It is also about watching people overcome their fears or learn to do something they thought they couldn't.  That is powerful.  Then, they turn that experience and learning towards other fears and obstacles in their own lives.  Amazing things happen as a result.

My goal is to help you reach your goals.  Why did you join Toastmasters?  What do you still want to accomplish?  How can I help you reach those goals.  Please feel free to contact me
