Professional Safety Speaker
I am a Certified Safety Professional that speaks to management groups of all levels of organizations, to improve and/or enhance their safety management process. I develop and deliver presentations that are motivational, passionate, humorous and engaging and yet still informative. My ability to communicate with the executive level down to the line level has been widely recognized, making me a much sought after speaker
As a true safety professional, I know, understand, and am able to relate to management teams and the systems created to get product and services out the backdoor. Management creates and operates the system. A successful management system has safety incorporated and to have a successful safety process, it must be incorporated into the overall management system. Without management driving the safety process within the system, mediocracy is the best that can be hoped for. As a professional that's been in the trenches, I can deliver your message effectively to achieve safety performance excellence.

Safety Conferences, Seminars, and Training
I speak to associations and trade groups at conferences, seminars, management meetings and safety meetings on topics relevant to the client's needs. I personally develop and deliver presentations that meet the client's needs based on their valuable input to get the most value and impact from their conferences and meetings.
I have been noted for my enthusiastic and engaging ability to take a rather dry subject and put life into it. Many of the comments I have received stated how I have taken what many people consider boring subjects and made them interesting, causing them to think differently about safety and their management system.
I have developed and delivered various safety management seminars and training to notable companies and organizations based on their specific needs. I will specifically create your safety management seminar and training session to meet your needs.
