Born poor, I witnessed firsthand how, through hard work and an unwavering vision, parents could pull themselves out of poverty and create a better life for their children.
I was living in South Carolina when I delivered my first public speech at the age of 12. From the very first speech, I knew I'd found something that felt like...life! As Howard Thurman put it, "Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." When I speak, I come alive!
My first international speaking engagement was a 2 and a half week series of presentations in Nicaragua at the age of 18. A year later, I accepted a 1-year contract to speak and serve in Australia, where I met my wife, Joanna. Today, I am an international speaker, trainer, and coach. I have been blessed to speak on 5 continents to audiences from every socioeconomic background and age group and just about anywhere you can gather a group of people, from convention centers and meeting halls to campgrounds and courtyards.
My mission is simple: inspire, motivate, empower. My vision is clear: a world where every person is afforded the opportunity to pursue their purpose and takes advantage of that opportunity. This is what drives everything I do.
