“Nick’s presentation was the best we’ve had in years”
~ Don Troudy, Program Chair, Professionals in Human Resources Assn. L.A.

I understand the challenge of finding just the right speaker and that the success of an event comes down to the quality of the speakers. The right speaker helps to create a great event. The wrong one, well … a not-so-great event.

My hope is that this page will make it easy for you to get the information you need to make the best decision possible for your upcoming event.

Thanks for stopping by. Thanks also for considering me. I am honored.

“I found your presentation style, sense of humor and experience a winning combination. Businesses need what you have to offer.”
