How would you describe your speaking style?

Emotional, storytelling and thought provoking. What are you looking forward to the most when you present at the IASA Annual Conference? I’m looking forward to sharing things that I believe will help them unite their school districts and their surrounding communities. What’s one thing about you that people should know before your keynote presentation? I am a son of two former educators, a husband/father and my favorite audience is school staff. Can you share a piece of leadership advice for superintendents? Being united doesn’t mean we will think and believe the same. Unity comes when we have respect for everyone regardless of their stances because we know that we are all human beings with different life experiences.

Was there an educator in your life who helped you become the person you are today? Coach Blake Hall was the educator that I credit with changing my life and allowing me to become the man that I am today.
