He has been performing and teaching all levels of performance and applied improv for almost 10 years, and has over 16 years experience in sales and marketing. He spends his time making the world more awesome by providing staff development workshops and keynotes for tons of different organizations and thousands of people. He also started Pass The Hat, a brilliant nonprofit that provides financial relief to local families facing tragedy.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, selforganized events that bring people together to share a TEDlike experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, selforganized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are selforganized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
