I have been an international public speaker since 1994.

I have given interactive lectures, workshops, question answer forums and motivational speeches in countries all around the world.  I have done presentations for small intimate gatherings and to audiences of thousands of people and groups everywhere in between.  I have done autism specific presentations, demonstrating practical low/no cost take home strategies, adaptations and new perspectives, but have also given motivational presentations on my life as an author and artist, a social philosopher, and as a person living with a range of challenges I do not allow to define me.

My testimonials convey me as an informative, moving, entertaining, inspirational and seasoned public speaker across a range of vastly different fields.
