Since 2005 I have made over 230 presentations for outdoor retail stores, outdoor recreation programs, outing clubs, trail associations, Boy Scout troops, and corporations to a cumulative audience of almost 20,000. Below is a select list of those events.
My presentations resonate most with outdoorsy audiences, but the themes and lessons transcend audience interests and are applicable to many other ventures as well.
